Especially as your unit is connected to the "Hot" side!

I would agree with a caveat. I have seen I do not know how many power control devices erroneously installed. I would never rely on a device connectd to either hot or neutral. Also when the triac is off one side will be hot anyhow.

What is the reason for Heater blowing.            01/01/70 00:00      
   Hof often/how we?            01/01/70 00:00      
      Some more information...            01/01/70 00:00      
   continuous rating            01/01/70 00:00      
      This could be the reason...            01/01/70 00:00      
   Way too much current...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Some more information required...            01/01/70 00:00      
   do you have hysteresis in your control?            01/01/70 00:00      
      No there is no hysteresis.            01/01/70 00:00      
         Four pulses?            01/01/70 00:00      
            The Heaters are failing, electronics is OK.            01/01/70 00:00      
               Why Pulses?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  I will do just that...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Processor must know about zero-crossings            01/01/70 00:00      
               ??            01/01/70 00:00      
                  soft start            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Soft Start            01/01/70 00:00      
                        an easy and interesting check            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Soft start, again...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Yes these heaters need Soft start            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Again: Power? Voltage? Current?            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Avoid driving gate all the way to next zero crossing            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Crest factor/power factor correction            01/01/70 00:00      
                     Phase angle control...            01/01/70 00:00      
                        I agree with you.            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Good luck!            01/01/70 00:00      
                           are all heating coils the same ?            01/01/70 00:00      
                           There You Go            01/01/70 00:00      
         re the possible need for hysteresis            01/01/70 00:00      
         Power? Voltage? Current?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Alternate Heating Control Algorithm            01/01/70 00:00      
      Some more clarification...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Voltage - or power? [ed]            01/01/70 00:00      
   The other controllers            01/01/70 00:00      
   Thanks All members.            01/01/70 00:00      
   just suggest..            01/01/70 00:00

         Good point!            01/01/70 00:00      
            supposed to            01/01/70 00:00      
         opto isolated triac            01/01/70 00:00
