Definitely used the grease provided with the heat sink. Thin layer across the metal interface of the ssvr. I will try to throw a fan on there. Best way to rig an old mini molex fan to AC power from my box?

The SSVR was indeed fried. After installing my new one, everything is functioning normally. I do wonder how hot this heat sink should be, however. Is it normal for it to excede 140 degrees or so? I have the recommended heatsink for Auber's 25A SSVR.

Quite sure i have a shorted ssvr. Ordered s new one from auber. Pot was reading 0-20kohm

Did a boil test on 7.5 gallons. Boils intensity unchanged from min and max settings. Ssvr is providing max power at any setting. 1400w (approx wattage of element run on one leg) should not boil 7.5 gallons so aggressively, i should think.

The One hot leg goes through the ssvr while the other hot goes directly into the element. This is how the auber diagram shows the 240v setup. Is this incorrect?

This is to say that the output voltage from the ssvr could be 120v despite being regulated down?
