I couldn't find the cell phone picture of the wiring diagram I had on my whiteboard, so I whomped this up in Visio in case anyone's interested. A PDF version is attached as well.
I would not not have known where to start on this without all of the freely-shared knowledge from people on HBT. Thanks to P-J in particular, who's wiring diagrams made things very clear, and of course Kal, who started me thinking about going electric in the first place.
Thanks again for all your help. I posted my completed build in the thread last week. I have yet to fire it up, but hope to do so here when the weather gets a little warmer up here. Something that I totally passed over when reading your thread before was when you did the collection of pictures showing the voltage and amperage relationship with the various settings of the pot. It seems like your readings are violating Ohms law, as I was always under the impression that with a simple resistive circuit like we have, that with a fixed resistance (lets say 8.8Ohms for a 5500W element), that an increase in voltage also means an increase in current. Your meter seems to indicate that voltage and amperage is inversely proportional.
Could you explain that to me, as it's making my head hurt. Thanks!
o I wired it up with the 220V input going to the green connector, and the CT going to the molex connector, which is the way it should be. I
This wiring diagram for LED light on when the circuit is closed looks nothing like what pogden has for his. Can someone clarify?
