    How do you run 240V on single leg for 120V PID control

    When I tested I still had leads connected, I'm guessing that gave me a false reading. I going to remove from box and test tomorrow. I have this one: http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_30&products_id=30

    How do you run 240V on single leg for 120V PID control

    Yes sir, my SSR is cooked. 0 resistance at output. Thank you, Mattd2 for spotting that. I never would have thought of that. This SSR is pretty new. I've checked my wiring and it looks like it's supposed to. Here's some pics of my box, anybody see any reason the SSR cooked.

    How do you run 240V on single leg for 120V PID control

    I'm having trouble getting this into my head. I can power off the PID and the pot still boils unless I power off the element switch. The element is still getting power from somewhere without a neutral connected. Is it feeding back thru the ground?

    How do you run 240V on single leg for 120V PID control

    Been running my temp control using PJ diagram. I want to be able to run my element at 1/2 power, so I put a switch to the other line thinking I could turn off switch 2 and have the PID run the element on 120V. (2nd pic) Apparently it doesn't work that way, why not ? Is there simple way to wire...

    RIMS Build: Some Questions

    ok ,so my guess would be your terminal strips need to be jumped across the hot terminal side. these terminals are separate, you need to feed each one power. by that I mean each term. needs its own power source. here's what i'm talkin' about. the jumper wires on each terminal.

    Stupid elec. question......

    you will only feed 1 leg of 220 to terminal #10 and a neutral to terminal 9 on the 2352. do not put 220 to it. you will also have to run a ground to your rig by running 4 wires to your panel(2 hot, 1 neutral and a ground). ground rod not a good idea. Find PJ's wiring diagrams they'll show you...
