Not really ot. As the original poster posted one which requires alot more technical knowledge. Yes a ceiling fan speed control would do the same thing depending on the size of it, most of them are barely rated at 2aspog said:
A bit slow with this follow-up Kev, but can you post pics of the outside if possible? Is that a rivet to hold the heatsink?...QldKev said:I used the first one for a while on a smaller element, it worked great. But when I put it onto a 2,200w Keg King element it would not control it, the element just stayed at 100%. I'm not sure why, since the controller is rated to a lot more. In true form the Keg King element blew up, but I have not tried the controller on the new element..
Get your sparky to build a voltage controller using a resistence SSR and a pot, it works a treat with everything I have tried it with.
btw, there is a heat sink mounted behind the SSR
Yep sure is a rivet to hold the heat sink in place.mofox1 said:

Well my voltage controller the same as linked to here finally blew up last night mid boil. It did last a couple of years, but I think the max rating(3800W@220V) for a 3600W element is on the edge and I'd have to advise not to go with it. Would probably be fine for 2400W element though?mofox1 said:
