[QUOTE="Andy™, post: 385890, member: 2012"] basically, i wanted to paint my van rims but they didnt fit into the small oven... so instead of taking them somewhere else i built a bigger oven... 3x 2.5kW elements controlled via a universal thermostat switching a contactor. fan is always on regardless of temperature. for my use, it was easier to wire as TP with 1 element per phase, but it could have been done single phase. its set at 200º, takes about 10 mins to heat up, and still at 150+ after an hour of being switched off. insulation is fibreglass stuffed into 60mm gap. stat controls temp fairly well, usually within 5º of my 200 target pic during the build with elements & fan in place (note. the elements are actually at the top, its up-side down in this photo) [URL="http://s22.photobucket.com/user/andrew2022/media/P3083670_zpswniw86t3.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b314/andrew2022/P3083670_zpswniw86t3.jpg[/IMG][/URL] the finished oven, ready for its test run [URL="http://s22.photobucket.com/user/andrew2022/media/P3113710_zpsh8lclhgm.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b314/andrew2022/P3113710_zpsh8lclhgm.jpg[/IMG][/URL] and one of the rims in the oven...
