Im having some problems with my fermentation chamber (an upright freezer, about 4.5 feet tall) build. I am using a BCS box to control heating and cooling cycles. The BCS is controlling two 10A SSRs. When I plug the freezer cord into the control box I built, the compressor will cycle on every 30 seconds or so (for about 3 seconds), but not at full power, and then turn back off; repeat. This happens when the process is not on. When I put the BCS in manual mode and turn that outlet/SSR on, the compressor turns on and runs like normal. Its almost like the SSR is leaking enough power to slightly turn the compressor on every 30 seconds or so. Is that possible?
Also, if I plug a fan into my control box with the process off, the blades move real slow. So it has to be some sort of power leak; I just dont know how to fix it.
Please help HBT!
