Re: What do you think???
Most pid's can control two ssr's ok, you just need to look at the specifications. My pid(TC-408) can support an ssr output of 40ma at 8 vdc. My ssr(Fotek) requires 7.5ma at 3-32 vdc. In theory I could probably control 4 of these ssr's with this pid.
However I think there is a bigger problem that you need to look at closely before proceeding. In my opinion 24000 watts isn't anywhere need enough to heat a 600 cu. ft. oven. Most all the ovens I've seen this size are heated with gas. My guess is it would take a couple of hours to heat this space with 24000 watts, if at all.
As a reference, my oven is 27cf and with 5200 watts takes about 30 minutes to heat to 400(the first time). The oven size you are proposing is roughly 22 times larger than mine but you are only increasing the wattage by less than 5.
