A Solid-State High Voltage Relay operates similarly to a conventional relay, which is used to control the flow of electrical current. However, unlike traditional mechanical relays that rely on moving contacts to open or close the circuit, a solid-state HV relay uses semiconductor components like transistors or thyristors to perform these functions electronically. This means that the relay can operate without any physical moving parts, which brings about several significant benefits, including faster switching times, reduced wear and tear, and improved operational reliability.
