I might give the fan a miss then if i don't need it :think: Only thought it was necessary cause i have seen others use it.
I would recommend one... The one in your first link should be fine
So am I able to control the T500 2kW power with 'just' the 4kW SCR regulator and volt meter alone?
Yes
It only needs to control the T500 2kW element and when I upgrade down the track ill upgrade this also. Until then it only needs to do one 2kW element.. although darkmesh said he checked his and it was 1850W
Or is there something else i need in order to do this safely? does it need to be cooled down or should these be enough for a small element?
For the lead going in and out of the box, how does this look? i only need it short and heavy duty right?
HPM Heavy Duty Extension Lead 5 metres which says 10A heavy duty on the eBay one
I would go to an electrical wholesaler near you and ask for some heavy duty flexible cord, 2.5mm² @ core + earth. You can get it cut by the meter...
Cheers guys.
