Sun Prairie, WI, Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 2G Engineering announces the release of its intelligent Solid-State Relay (iSSR), a next-generation solid-state power switching solution designed for high-voltage, high-current DC loads in subsea and other extreme environments, including pressure-balanced oil-filled (PBOF) systems rated to 10,000 PSI ambient pressure.
The iSSR combines robust power switching with advanced monitoring, protection, and communications capabilities in a compact, industry-standard solid-state relay form factor. Designed for mission-critical subsea, industrial, and energy applications, the iSSR delivers unprecedented visibility and control over DC power distribution. “The iSSR represents a major step forward in distributed power switching and control,” said Hal Glenn, Founder and Director of Engineering at 2G Engineering. “By integrating protection, diagnostics, and high-speed data capture directly into the relay, we’re giving system designers powerful tools to improve reliability, safety, and maintainability in harsh environments.”
High-Power Switching with Built-in Intelligence:
- Safely switches loads up to 800 volts and 60 amps
- Bidirectional AC/DC blocking with configurable current direction
- Built-in constant-current pre-charge to safely energize capacitive loads
- Integrated 48kW clamp for safe operation with inductive loads
- Configurable electronic fuse (e-fuse) with trip times as fast as 1 µs
- Bidirectional current monitoring with instantaneous and peak measurements
- Internal temperature monitoring with over-temperature shutdown
Advanced Diagnostics and Communications
The iSSR features an embedded oscilloscope mode, capable of capturing at least one second of current waveform data at a 100 kHz sample rate, enabling engineers to analyze startup behavior, fault events, and transient conditions in detail.
The iSSR supports the following communication interfaces:
- Modbus over RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet
- CAN bus / CANopen
- USB-C
- Discrete digital trigger inputs (3–36 V)
- Up to 64 iSSRs can be daisy-chained and controlled from a single unit.
Compact, Configurable, and Upgradeable
Housed in a compact 1.75” × 2.25” × 0.9” package, the iSSR is designed for easy integration into existing systems. The unit includes configurable status LEDs and field-upgradable firmware.
Availability
The 2G intelligent Solid-State Relay is currently available to order. Solid models, mechanical drawings, and customization details are available upon request.
