Thanks Dave,
I was afraid that was going to be the answer. It looked viable on paper, but noise doesn't simulate well and
I should have remembered that there is no "Off" or "On" in most SS stuff only "Low signal" and "High signal".

Subject: Re: [TCML] SSRs?
Matt
I'm working on a SS Power Controller now.
YMMV but if the SSR is zero cross fired and
TC noise shifts apparent zero; ZAP.
Plus about 5mA off current w/ SSR turned off. Might work but have a power contactor as backup wired in series in case SSR fails (usually shorted which can be really dangerous with HV).
OBTW my controller does have a 90A 600v
contactor upstream of IGBT AC chopper
power cell assembly. Good design and
manufacturing practice...

Has anyone had experience with using solid state relays in medium-size TC Control panels, such as:
