Building my power controller
Posted: Wed Oct 04, 2017 7:54 pm
Hey all, Just though I'd share some pics from my power controller I've been building lately.
At this stage going to be the standard SCR from e(vil)Bay with a digital power monitor and outlet but I'm planning ahead from when I eventually hardwire it in.
Long term plan when it's hardwired is that I will have the outlet on the left as non-controlled on/off for one 2400W element during heat up and the one on the right is the SCR controlled outlet. Middle hole still needs a 25mm gland for inlet cable.
The inside looking something like this so far
Outside as a mock up will be something along the lines of this
I've left plenty of spare space below the SCR for future additions of switches for each outlet and indicator lights
