OK, so, we've all seen the Aquarium Temp Controller thread.
Now, I poked around the specs for the STC-100 temp controller. It claims 10A max @ 220v. This is 2200 watts. Lets say this thing is capable of handling an 80% constant load. That would be 1760 watts. Am I on crack to think that this would be 16 amps @ 110v? The same as a Love controller? Can this be possible, a replacement for a Love controller at 1/2 the price? If so, I would love to try this on my upcoming RIMS build with a 1500 watt heating element.
I would like to hear some feedback from others that have used this controller and gather other opinions before I purchase this thing and turn it into molten plastic. I'm hoping my Sunday night math is correct. There are also
controllers that claim 20A max on the cooling side. I wonder about those?
