Default Re: Oven Build Questions

Brian, One 2000 watt element should easily heat 5 cu ft. If you buy your parts from auber they should all work together.

I'm not sure they make 2000 watt 120 volt elements, but if you could find one it would eliminate the need for a 240 volt circuit. PID, SSR, etc would work with either.

The 40 amp SSR is more than adequate as the 2000 watt element would consume a little over 8 amps at 240 vac and twice that at 120 vac.
