I have been running my system since last year this time. I have had issues with the SSR continuing to send full power to the elements even with led cycling. I used the cheaper Fosgate SSR and switched them out to the InkBirds. I brewed today and everything started out fine then HLT stuck on...

Thanks for your support! keeping my fingers so crossed!

Here's heat sinks fan will be to left pulling air out. Intake will be to right letting air in to box. You guys are saying just blow air across heat sinks. I have not tried that but SSR is hotter on the output side of the SSR than the heat sinks are. Try to put other 2 pic up.

Can't wrap my head around this. I replaced the SSR today on the Rims, running element at 120, everything worked as it should. This receptacle is identical to the HLT and Boil with one lead capped and lead to neutral. I understand what your saying and maybe I just got lucky on the lead that I...

I'm not sure I verified voltage to the SSR. Made the choice to assume :( input voltage was correct. I will verify that before installing new SSR's. Thanks

Doug Thanks for your input. The SSR,s are mounted to Aluminum plate 5x8x1/4, heatsinks are mounted to plate and another plate above the heatsinks.i am placing 2 -1 1/2" holes in the side of the cabinet with fan on opposite top corner. Should flow air across the SSR's.

Ran test today on all 3 SSR. Within 15 minutes they were at 138f. Open door and blew large fan in cavity, they were running at 85f, but still locked in on position after a short time cycling. Going to assume that damage has been done from excess heat and I will replace units with non Fotek...

I'll try a fan but they don't appear to be hot unless they are hot in the box and thermally not connected well. I ll have to test that.

Yes I'm running the rims at 120, bought the ssr all together. Could that be the problem. System thinks it's at 240 but splits at the receptacle.

Heat sinks are warm, not hot. My understanding was SSR,s failed, is it possible they can be intermittent? At startup when temp point is set, they often show cycling but heating element stays fully energized. If I cycle the power they will operate correctly for a while or not :). I have no...

Could use some input. Built a full electric panel running 4500w boil and HLT and 4500 rims running at 120v. My problem is that the pid is calling for heat and the SSR is sending the signal to heat but sometimes the ssr stays in full on mode instead of cycling with the pid, ssr signal. Other...

Can always use New InkBird tools.

Thanks for the opportunity, I too have a dual probe ink bird BBQ thermometer, great item!

My entire electric brew panel is on one 50 amp GFCI out of a spa panel. I run 5500w HLT, 5500w Boil and 4500 RIMS running at 120v. Have zero issues with system, using PJ,s wiring diagram.

Big burners and shields sold. Still have three propane burners regulators and lines.

Got your pm, will calculate shipping today.

Gone all electric, 2 sets burners, one set shields $30 + ship $60 +ship $15 +ship

Please, let it be me! :)
