Re: Yet another wiring question...
Thanks for the reply. After doing more research, I`m pretty sure the single controller won`t work. The second element is a 3200 watt unit, which should draw 13 amps, the controller is only rated for 21 amps and I`m 99% sure the first element will draw more than 7 amps.
So, guess I`ll be upgrading to a PID and SSR unit for this oven and that will allow me to use those new units when I get my bigger oven built.
Next question is gonna be this, I only have a 50 amp circuit available for my oven. If I plan to run 3 2500-3200 watt elements, what will be needed to wire this correctly so as not to overload the circuit ? Meaning, I see alot of ppl using 2 or 3 SSR`s to keep the current draw down ?
