Should a flywheel diode be installed for SSR with AC load and DC input?

Unlike an electromechanical relay, an SSR does not require a freewheeling diode on the "coil" terminals. The equivalent circuit of the input is either a diode and resistor, or a current-...

Should a flywheel diode be installed for SSR with AC load and DC input?

Because a standard diode is uni-polarity, it is not suitable for connecting across an AC load. You can consider the use of a series resistor / capacitor as a snubber OR a bi-polar TVS with an ...
