I am currently buying a bunch of parts to build a voltage controller for my boka. My old man will wire up as he is a qualified electrician (although he hasn't worked as a sparky for 40 years).
As I am just about to order some things, I was hoping someone maybe able to confirm that I have selected a suitable relay and pot. He lives a long way away, I will need to purchase as many parts as possible prior to him assembling. While he may have suggestions, I want to stear him down a path based on the lessons learnt from this site.
I will be controlling a single 2200w, 240v element.
Here are the items I am looking at:
Solid State Relay - SSR-25VA, 24-380V(AC), to suit 470-560k ohm
http://www.uxcell.com/24380v-25a-soid-s ... 45476.htmlPotentiometer - 470K Ohm, 2W
http://www.uxcell.com/replacement-6mm-s ... 78828.htmlI will get the old man to decide how to wire the fan, switches, fuse etc.
I have read a lot about this today and know that the pot needs to match the ssr, but many ssr,s dont list a wattage or else they state; 1/2w or 1/4w. Does this mean .5w .25w or anywhere in the 1 to - 4 watt range?
I really appreciate any advice you can give me on this. :-)
