So, im new here, but can i ask for some help on my project, so i want to controll the temperatures of my 5 band mica heaters about 150 watts each, so i orderd a wattmeter and a temperature sensor type K, im on a very tight budget and i im thinking if i can use voltage regulator board with a potentiometer to give a certain amount of voltage to the band heaters, i don't know alot about electronics just some basic ones,so ill first use a wattmeter and temperature sensor to know the power one band heater will be at 220 deg. celsius max using the voltage regulator then ill do the same for every band heaters, am i doing the right thing? thank you in advance

this is for the voltage regulator : https://shopee.ph/2000W-25A-50-220V...ator-with-External-Knob-i.41810948.5832693517

this is my band heaters : https://shopee.ph/product/116459846/2758097546

my temperature sensor : https://shopee.ph/product/195021369/6819991266

my wattmeter : https://shopee.ph/product/82576541/1447654029

 

Welcome to AAC.

Do you plan to spend your time watching the temperature "sensor" and twisting knobs to try and keep it to where you want it? If so, then it may all work together as you plan.

None of the equipment you link to indicate any sort of interface. You temperature sensor is just a digital thermometer. I didn't see any datasheet for it nor digital outputs that could be used to automatically control the voltage or wattage based on the temperature. Likewise, your voltage control is manual. If you plan on an automated system, you will have a hard road ahead with those items.

 

Hi sir, thank you for responding, yes exactly, to save money, ill just measure the watts consumed of 1 band heater and try to adjust it so it's max temperature is not exceeding 220 degrees celsius then use that data i gathered to adjust other band heaters with their own voltage regulator to use the same power to also reach 220 degrees celsius, i won't be changing the temperature because my prototype is just a simple system and i have to heat one certain type of plastic which is the PET, i narrowed my parameters so that i only have to use one temperature. Thank you so much,
