Hey guys, I just got my control box up and running. The only concern I have is that the 220v light that turns on and off with the heating element stays on anytime the switch for the the element is on, it does not properly turn on and off with the element. Biggest thing to note is that it gets brighter when element turns on. So instead of on and off I get a dim light and then a bright light.
I wired my system just like Kal's but used contactors instead of DPDT relays (cheaper). So basically the light comes up dimly when it has only one 120v hot line hooked up to it and it gets brighter when the other 120v hot line gets switched on by the relay.
If the second hot wire is cut off by the SSR how would the light be coming on at all?
