I want to get 10 amp. load at 170v from 230v domestic supply to feed a heating element that I have fabricated. Going to a step down transformer is a tiresome job. difficult to find a big core, much enameled wires. Instead I decided to use a big iron core inductor in series with the element to reduce the excess 92v. What I have to do is fabricate an inductor of which impedance is about 9.2Ω. This circuit contains a SSR to control the load to the element and the SSR receives on/off signals from a digital temperature controller.
Will this system work? If it work, Will the phase shift at the inductor affect the performance of SSR? What is cross sectional area of the iron core suitable for this inductor. Should I use a big enameled wire to wind the inductor enough to deliver 10 amps?
Can I use a triac based power controller to reduce the voltage? Will this power controller affect SSR ?
