Jan 1, 2017 at 10:40 comment added user134640 Thats what i was intending with fake. I have specifically read about multiple cases of a 12A triac being used and or not complete coverage by the internal resin they use. Other than that i know that the build quality is pretty okay. Just sadly as i cant really open the relay without destroying it then i though that trying to create an extra layer of "protection" (now i understand it really wasn't) seemed like a good idea.
Jan 1, 2017 at 5:38 comment added Jack Creasey While the Fotek range of products seems to be cheaper and Chinese made you tend to get what you pay for. If it's ultra cheap it may well be fake product. However, you design solutions for original product, why would you design solutions to handle a 'fake' when you don't know what about it is fake? Perhaps the fakes only use under rated Triacs: ul.com/newsroom/publicnotices/… or this: instructables.com/id/… ...what circuit mods would you do??

Dec 31, 2016 at 23:37 comment added Spehro 'speff' Pefhany It should be noted that if the SSR you bought is 'unsafe' in any way, none of the suggested circuits (so far) will make the slightest improvement. For example, if the isolation fails it could certainly take out your ESP and quite possibly a computer etc. connected to it, and/or cause a serious shock hazard.

The circuit has been completely redrawn and hopefully it makes at least a little bit more sense than it previously did.

Dec 31, 2016 at 21:44 comment added RoyC Conventions in circuit diagrams, + rail at top - or ground at the bottom. The diagram you have put up makes no sense please go back and try to redraw it.
