I have a Skutt 818-208 I'm currently converting over to work on 240v instead of 208v and it is currently a manual kiln with 4 elements. Two dials with low, med, and high settings and a timer. I'd like to convert it to a Digital PID. I have looked on Auberins and I think have figured out what I need to put it together.
My current list:
PID Temperature Controller w/ Ramp/soak, Kiln (SSR Output)
http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=4
40A SSR
http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_30&products_id=30
High Temperature Thermocouple for Kiln
http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_3&products_id=39
Will these components do what I need? Some wiring diagrams have shown the use of two SSRs vs one? Why? Will I need two? Can anyone tell me the difference between a PID with SSR output and built in SSR output? Also can I hook my 240v wire from the wall into the PID or will be have to do a 220v for the PID and a 240v for the elements?
