Starting an oven and have some Q's
I have been reading this forum for a few weeks now and am starting my oven.
The outer dimensions are 4x4x7
The frame is 2" square tubing
Insulation will be 2" mineral wool
Outer covering is 22 gauge sheet metal
Inner covering is 18 gauge metal
Freezer latches to hold door shut
There will be a divider halfway up made up 2" tubing and insulated.
The plan is to be able to just run the top half of the oven except when larger parts need to be baked.
For the electrical, I am most likely getting the digital controller that so many here seem to be using. The TET612 seems like a good unit sold by coldfusionx on ebay.
Now here is where my questions come in. I was trying to determine if 4 1800w elements would suffice for this oven or would I have issues maintaining temperature stability. My main concern is that if I go up to 2500w elements I would have to much draw on my available power (available amps). I would most likely only be running 2 elements 75-80% of the time anyways.
What contactor would best work in this oven?
