These are generic photo. Calling all electricians, Looking for an easy wiring diagram to wire this up to run my BK!! 5500W heating element - 40A SSR - Bakatronics FK804.
artbrau said: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?

Well, you know those Linux types...
Not really, but i'm sick to death of all the "you're gonna die" when it comes to electricity. Were all old enough to vote, get drafted, drink, and have sex. I do believe were capable enough to interpret electrical advice.

What's the Green wire?

Goes to chassis ground of the flux capacitor. Do NOT hook it to earth ground, otherwise you'll travel forward in time instead of backward.

A 30A switch may be safer for the 5500W element.
slakwhere said:isn't he TRYING to go forward in time? that's the way i have mine hooked up, it makes boils shorter. Tho i guess i could hook it to a switch to go back in time in case i miss hop additions

This looks like what you want to do.
You'll need to observe output polarity to the SSR.
You will need a DC power supply also.
