Hello. I have an Automation Direct 480V SSR (AD-SSR10-DC-480A) which switches with 3-32v and has (According to the datasheet) 1ma leakage current.
I'm trying to switch a motor starter (Relay) made by AEG, an XLS05-E0-IN. Even completely removing input power (Disconnecting) the AEG starter remains engaged. I'm making the assumption that the reset current or voltage is too high and the leakage on the AMD relay is keeping it on.
The assumption is that I need a bleeder resistor, and I'm having a hard time specifying what that resistor needs to be. I found a formula on the Omron page:
R < (load reset voltage/(leakage current - load reset current)).
Fine and dandy, but the AEG motor starter docs don't have the reset current or voltage anywhere. I'm tempted to just ballpark a high wattage 10k resistor and see what happens, but I've been trying to make this an educated guess.
The pdf for the SSR is http://www.automationdirect.com/static/specs/ssclass6relays.pdf
The pdf for the specific contactor is http://www.eecontrols.com/documents/Pages41-50.pdf
Perhaps I just don't know what to look for, but it seems like the values I need are lacking.
Thanks in advance.
