Gunsmithing PID Controller wiring diagram for Creakote oven

[walkabout]

I have searched and searched and cannot find any diagrams from fellow shooters who have built ovens for Creakote drying?
I am building an oven using oven elements.
Can anybody supply me with a wiring diagram?
Thanks

What model of PID controller are you using? I used a cheap PID controller a 220v oven element and a relay and contactor, works like a champ.

I have not purchased one yet, as I don't know which one to get as I don't have a diagram?
It will be 220v supply
Thanks

Very simple, connect a pid controller to the relay, connect the relay output to the contactors coil on one phase and have a constant supply to the other end of the coil.
Connect the elements through the contactors contacts and you are done.
Normally would add a on/off switch to the setup to, your sockets don't like being unplugged with a electrical load on them.

Without knowing your relay, PID controller and Contactor the diagram is hard to make accurately as there are a lot of options.

When you have your components that are compatible, feel free to contact me, if i get the specs I should be able to make a diagram in 5 minutes and scan it.

Don't forget the thermocouple.

I bought this one from ebay for my oven: Dual Display Digital PID Temperature Controller w 6ft Thermocouple 25A Relay | eBay

If you get the same one or a similar one, I can give you a full set of pictures showing how to wire it.
