Figure 8: Utilising the SYNC input
By means of resistors RS* and capacitors CS* a phase
shifted signal at SYNC is derived from the 50 Hz load
supply.
Thus the relay is activated resp. deactivated with zero
crossing of the load supply after working EN.
The phase shift is used to compensate the switching
delay of the relay so that the load can be switched at
zero current.
The benefit from synchronous switching may be utilised,
if the switching times are short and reproducible.
