I wanted to build a sort of hotplate using a pyramid kettle heating element controlled by a PID temperature controller. I've into some issues with the actual heating. For some reason when the heating element is connected through the ssr no matter what I do or try it will not heat up. The PID is a rex-c100 and my kettle heating element runs off 240v ac at 2500-3000W.
Maybe there is an easier way to control the temperature of a kettle heating element or am I just doing something wrong?
