Hi Guys, so i'm building a thermoforming machine for pet plasctic it will heat up to 160 degrees Celsius, for the heating element i will use a nichome
NI90 wire and to control the temperature i will use a REX-C100, SSR-40A Relay and thermocouple type-K

So my question is do i need a seperate power supply to heat up the nichrome or will the REX-C100 do the job like the image i linked bellow.
Thanks

Hi omar,
Your image is visible, OK.

The area where the Nichrome wire will be placed measures 229 mm by 317 mm, giving a surface area of 0.072573 m².

I'm planning to arrange the Nichrome wire in a zigzag pattern. The wire is N90/23G with a resistance of 0.09Ω per inch.

Right now, I'm trying to determine the appropriate length of Nichrome wire I’ll need and whether I should power it directly from the main power supply or use a separate one.
