Hi all,
I am finally done building my new all electric RIMS system and have just started testing the system. It is brew troller controlled.
I am having a major issue with me SSRs. In my build I have three, one two switch a 110v duplex I use to drive my single pump, a second one to switch one leg of a 240v element for the rims and a third to switch one leg of the 240v element for the kettle. All of the relays are switching the same leg. The issue is the relay will switch the circuit for the 110v pump fine, but the there is constantly 240v at my sockets for the elements. I have triple checked all of my wiring and nothing is crossed and everything is where it should be. To rule out bad ssr failed in the "on" position I swapped the two causing issues to the pump circuit and they function as expected, except for after having been connected to the 240v circuit, on power connection to the panel the relay would energize the circuit for about a second before shutting off and working as expected. I also checked for issues with my switching current by disconnecting the 12v and the ground entirely and the issue still persists. My outlets show no continuity between any of the terminals. It is my understanding that there is no need to have a ssr relay on both legs of the 240v circuit as the unswitched leg will just remain hot.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated, as I am pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.
