Then if it is a problem I suggest you buy your SSR's from a distributor who can give you a detailed spec sheet and pay top dollar for the privilege. Virtual Village as AFAIK is a UK marketing operation of over supply stock with little info on what it sells other than what the manufacturer may...
To my mind EMI (electro magnetic interference) is a none advent. My computer would probably put out more EMI than a standard SSR. I agree that around sensitive equipment EMI must be kept to a minimum. Any equipment with oscillatory circuits contained therein usually contain snubber circuits...
Not sure what you mean or do mean switching transients. From what I can remember of zero crossing in my days at TAFE electronic trades a long time ago Zero crossing in SSR's were to switch and latch a triac on at the zero point of the supply thus not needing continuous DC at the input of the...
Yeah and aren't they a right ******* when you want to build something on them like a shed or a house.
Nice going there Nick I like to do a bit of carpentering myself and do a reasonable job. (looks at ground and shuffles feet) :unsure: Looking forward to see the finished job I need...
Read my post on "dead ssr" ..Global Village on ebay 40 amp SSR' for AU$17.00 + post .........twist their arm and you will get them cheaper and the good thing is they work well. Been using them for three months now and no problems
cheers

I have been using these from Virtual Village on ebay and run them at 2400W they are bolted direct to the inside of a PVC cabinet and they only run warm and never hot.
If the ambient temperature is high in their enviroment then more adequate heat sinking would...
I know of a fifty litre pot still, complete with heat exchanger made out of a redundant hospital sterilizer that I was a party to, floating around Auckland somewhere. Now I said I was a party to, and I didn't say I was in possession of, or operated it.
:D
Tony you can monitor the temperature back into the Tun by a simple addition of a MM temp gauge S/s a T piece and a reducer as the thread on the short probe version of the MM is smaller. All up a shade over fifty bucks.

G'day Woody
Like Adelaide we do get the hot northerlies now and again here but rare. I lived and worked in Adelaide for a short time and spent a pleasant summer there relaxing the odd weekend on Maslin beach with my girl. The Tassie sun in summer is fierce and the UV is high and not good for...
Well I suppose living in the deep south has its advantages. Our tank water is fairly stable 18-20C most of summer. Nights chill down to around 11-14C so ambient in workshop is around 18-20 with both doors open and a breeze blowing through. I can drop temps from just below 100C in boiler to...
I use a good quality garden hose from tank water to fill my HLT which the inlet is two metres above the ground without any adverse effect. This is a dedicated hose for just this purpose after having a couple of infection problems due to my son using my brewery hose off a dam water tap...
