To answer your question on mechanical vs. solid state? Heavy inductive loads and solid state relays are not friends. Of course it is possible and there are many solid state motor control relay solutions out there, but they are expensive and rather complicated. Often programmable to certain motor characteristics. In short, complex and expensive so onward with the mechanical relay. Oh yeah and can be dangerous. I had a 220VAC solid state relay blow up in my face due to a dead short. Thank God for Safety Glasses and my ears rang for a few days. It was the only time that I got to see the inside of a solid state relay `,~)</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433441264828_166247" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433441264828_166247" dir="ltr"><span>John Vaughters</span></div> <br><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> On Friday, June 5, 2015 12:34 AM, Jon Wolfe via TriEmbed <triembed@triembed.org> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv4001406155"><div>
