I know very little about electronics, that being said, I am building a temporary oven to bake some painted (Cerakote) parts.
I have 3, 1100 watt heating element controlled by a MYPIN TA4 controller, at first I ran all three heating element through a MYPIN SSR-25 DA relay but burned up the SSR in a few minutes.
Now I an trying to run each heating element through a OPTO-22 240D45 SSR, the 12vdc input is running parallel to the three SSR's inputs and the output from each SSR is running to the 3 separate heating elements, this did not work, somewhere I read hook a light-bulb up to the output for testing and that did work so I hooked up the light bulb in series with the heating element and the light bulb comes on but not the heating element, if I hook the light bulb in parallel with the heating element then both the light-bulb and heating element work.
Whats going on here, is there a proper way to do this? searching google just muddies the water for me.
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Bruce
