In this research project we are using actuators.

The table below is the comparison of

two actuators: Relay and Solid-State Relay.

Relay

Relay is a switch with electromagnet as its base and energized by a small

current. This makes it achievable to grant almost small electric currents to clout and

regulate much larger electrical amperage. Sensors are medium devices, and they only

bring off limited quantity of electric stream, but in order for a detector to incite larger

pieces of device it demands something that would incite this device by granting larger

currents to flow. Thus, the sensor can operate as the input regulator for the relay when

it is triggered, larger electric stream discharge to the device.

Solid-State Relay

Solid State Relays are semiconductor corresponding of the electromechanical

relay and good for operating electrical loads without using movable equipment. In

contrast with electro-mechanical relays (EMR) which uses coils, springs, magnetic

fields, and mechanical connections to administer and convert a supply, the solid state

relay, or SSR, has no traversing unit but rather manages the electrical and optical

peculiarity of solid state semiconductors to execute its input to output confinement and

switching behavior.
 Relay Solid-State Relay
• Electrically isolate input and output circuits
• Adjust different signal levels
• Amplify and/or multiply signals
Immunity to electromagnetic interference Long service life — no mechanical wear
and transient voltages on contacts
High, short-term overload on both input
High switching frequency due to short

switch-on and switch-off times
functionality
Minimal switching loss/high switching
Unfazed by shock and vibration
power
A single module switches both direct and
No contact bouncing
alternating current (highly versatile)
No leakage current in the load circuit (air
“Noiseless” switching
insulation)
Multiple contacts possible (control signal
Low control power
switches multiple load circuits
Switching state is partially visible to the
Short response times
naked eye
No electromagnetic radiation from

Safe isolation between coil and contact set
with adjacent modules or electronic
components during switching

And with these information, we conclude that we will use the solid-state relay for

it fits the description of our research.
