Solid State Relay to Switch Transformer?

[m_c]

I'm with you there Robin! Way too noisy :yes:

I dunno. I find it reassuring hearing a relay clicking, although I do cringe when my phase converter start-up relay chatters when a big load gets switched on.

If you want to make your own, Google for the MOC3040

I'll keep that info handy for future use, but at the moment, I'll stick to buying something that should work how it's supposed to!
