Help with my heat treat build.

[Linus Knives]

So I had “finished” the wiring and building of my oven- at least I think so- and when I plug it into the wall, nothing happens, not even the PID turns on. This is my wiring if it makes any sense. Maybe someone can give me some ideas? It just be a wiring issue.

I have from the PID

1 nothing

2 negative to thermocouple

3 positive to thermocouple

4 nothing

5 nothing

6 goes to the + on the SSR

7 goes to the limit switch

8 goes to one fuse and another wire goes to the 1 on the SSR

9 goes to another fuse



The SSR is

1 has a wire going to 8 on the PID and a wire going to the second fuse

2 has an element wire

- has the other limit switch wire

+ goes to 6 on the PID



On the power cord from the wall I have green grounded on the frame

Black going to the first fuse

White going to the other element.

Just wondering how are you supplying power for your PID to operate. It usually takes a wide range of voltages and AC or DC?

I am a strong believer in different color wires when doing something like this. An option would be labels both ends of the wires. In future years it will make trouble shooting easier. At this point it would make it easier for us.

A wiring schematic would be more helpful.

I had a Friend help me figure this out so far… I’ll post if I need some more help. Thanks everyone. Linus

Found the pictures from my 110V kiln that I made a PID set up for:

I didn't have to connect the elements to anything since I could plug my kiln into the PID setup, and I didn't have door switches or fuses or anything.
