========================

So, my questions: Are solid state relays suitable for this type of
work? Are they typically able to handle surge current loads from motor
starting? Here is a link to the relay in question:

Nice and cheap - right ?

Triacs cannot take over current surges that last more than a cycle or two.

Why use 2 in series ? I can only see that causing problems.
