I am turning a cabinet into an electric smoker. I am going to use 220V 20 AMP CIRCUIT. I will use a 3400-watt oven element.
Here is my parts list and a not electrician schematic I did. I would love any productive input or thoughts on this

OK i have changed one thing with some input from an electrician friend. I am going to run 10 gauge wire in and out of the box and go with 30 AMP Breaker and 30 amp 220v switch
 
thank you I also sent JC in GC a message

Responded to your message. Glad to help you get this wired up properly. I am not familiar with that controller. I will have to look up the pinout. Also, it would help if I had the parts list of the other parts.

Thanks,

JC :emoji_cat:
 
Here is what I came up with. Does this help?

Thank you I responded to your message and sent my complete parts list and how i think the wiring should go
 
This is for a 220v 30 amp circuit? This looks like the 110V schematics I see. Will they work the same? Do you recommend removing the volt/amp meter ?
It will work fine at 220v 30 amps. Not sure why you need the meter but it is always nice having more info.
 
Looking at these diagrams I am confused... JC.. You have wht and Blk going to the SSR... Are not the control wires (Pos 8, Neg 6) low voltage (12v) ? For 220v I have mine wired with Wht going straight to the element and Blk going through SSR (for contro) and then to the element.. You are feeding both L1 (wht) and L2 (blk) to the SSR ? Yea... I am confused ...

You are correct. Black goes to the heater then to the SSR. White goes to the low side of the SSR. That is what my drawing shows.

I'm going to chime in here. I did a drawing for a guy a while ago for 220vac PID connection. Make sure you ground eveything metal. If you use terminal, use ring termanls on the grounds. One more thing. If that PID controller will accept PT-100 sensors you should use one. Auber Instruments has some nice ones that aren't expensive.
