Just wanted to thank you! Clear explanations for novices, understands how clueless about electricity most of us are & is neither condescending nor abstruse
Thanks for this informative presentation. I did want to mention that some modern 240v single phase kilns have 4-prong plugs, with the 4th prong being a dedicated ground. As you point out, the kiln will have a plate on it giving you the voltage, phase, amperage, firing temperature, etc.
Very informative . I'd ask for one correction though: A zero on an ohm meter does not indicate an open cct rather a dead short... which is what you want on a fuse or continuous wire. All the ohm meters I have used, flash either a single digit "1" or "OL" for discontinuity. Having said that, I wouldn't expect anyone to start using a meter with just this video to go on. Love to encourage another video with close ups. My eyes are getting old. Cheers.
Excellent video! Wish I'd watched it before trying to pop the element back into place without heating it with a propane torch...where do I find elements for a Skutt Model 175P Kiln?
Thanks for the video. I have a Paragon Model A82B. It has a four prong plug, but the tag on the side says Phase: 1. I have a 220 dryer outlet that only has three prongs. What do I need to do to hook it up? Thanks.
I have a sitter kiln that uses the old Skutt 104 knob switch, can I replace it the infinity switch? I need 2 and they are double the price as the infinity.
HELP as i yell to you i found a older sitter kiln and its a 120v but it as a sitter kiln on it so now i need to know whats next this is where I ask you for help Don in ca
Its been said but that was a great video, thanks. My question is that I have a kiln sitter with what looks like light switches. There are new elements in the kiln but it doesn't seem to get to the correct temp quickly. Could the switch like that go bad or is it more likely bad wires etc. I know it was overfired a while back which is what led to the new elements.
