So I got the electrical done today. Put on the shed roof vents and moved the kiln up from the garage. It has been plugged in and I have seen the "Idle" word on the LED panel. Which is what I am supposed to see. Yay!
Success! This has been a long and much interupted project.
Correction on the plug. It was supposed to be and L6-20. I bought the wrong ones. That has been corrected. This is pretty important. The L5-20 will allow a regular 120V plug to be plugged into it. That would spell at least a blown fuse on something, probably ruin whatever you plugged in, and possibly end up with a fire. All bad things. So, the L6-20 will not allow this. One would have to replace the plug on the 120V device. Unlikely and if one did that serves you right I suppose.
I need to supply a more organized and detailed write up of what was done. Here's the recap.
Later,
John

- Built a metal shed for the kiln from scratch.
- Filled in the bricks on my patio so I had a place for everything.
- Provided a 240V sub panel and extended the circut to a plug near the kiln.
- Set up the kiln.
Later,
John
