Pol; go back to 11-30-08, title by you as 3,500, 4,500 or 5,500W,
on page 6 posting #51 by you "(2) hots running to the SSR and out to the element". I've never seen a SSR that has connections for two hots or 240 volts, no way, a SSRD yes.
This was a question that I asked, which you made into a statement, and took out of context. I was asking those who had used SSRs how they worked, as I had never seen one in my life.
Reply #52 by bakins; "circuit #1 30A 240 V, 1 hot to element,1 hot to SSR".
This allows for a energized back feed and unsafe wiring practices plain and simple.
Again, you neglected to post his entire post, where he went on to say that he also incorporates a kill switch that cuts power to BOTH hot legs running to the element, which he uses for turning the element ON and OFF.
Pol reply #53, "meaning I can get by with the 25A SSR and heat sink as I cannot find a 6,500W that is low density I will be using a low density 5,500W element". That sure sounds like a 240 volt power to the element with a SSR not a SSRD or two SSRs for again a energized back fed system.
Again, out of context as this post was AFTER reading Bakins post which included the use if a kill switch to kill power to both hot legs to the element, no energized back feed,
stevehaun; reply #56 like bakins,"I run one hot directly to the element and the other hot is switched by the SSR.
Again, omitting the important part of the post, where he goes on to say that just like Bakins, he uses a kill switch to turn the element on and off, providing a means by which to have absolute control over the current in both energized legs to the element.
Smartest wiring system by CodeRage which is also his high electrical standards, "I use 2 SSRs on both sides of the 240 volt element".
My reply from above statements I didn't pull out of my ass, pulled from this forum. There are other wiring diagrams posted by other members that had some unsafe design builds.
But you did, very cleverly omit, the most important part of each post
I do not "because it appears you make things up, so that you can rant", those are your remarks Pol.
Exactly, see link below for what was actually said
For someone who at one time who stated they wanted nothing to do with electric heating in the past, called "PID crap" you sure have done a flip flop
over time. You do make my day and worth a laugh at times, keep it up.
