Can the duty cycle of the SSR handle the on/off cycles? I have no idea how fast the PWM rheostat cycles but it must be many times a second, no?

Idea of PWM controller came from this link: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/pwm-boil-kettle-control-159193/

Details are in thread, I'm just looking for where to connect what wires :-) if possible to explain.

I'm considering constructing something similar, but I am not an expert. Try PM'ing Walker or P-J. I borrowed this diagram from P-J:



A 30A switch may be safer for the 5500W element.
