This is the biggest kiln you can run on 120 volts. This kiln delivers all the benefits of a large kiln, but on household power. Because the interior is a 17.5" octagon, you can do a 15" plate... so you can fuse really big stuff! So, it makes it feel like you are getting a 240-volt kiln, at a 120-volt price! Now you have the size kiln you need without the extra expense of adding 240 volts when it isn't available.
Why Upgrade from Mechanical Relays to Solid-State Relays?
Mechanical Relays, which come standard on most kilns have internal moving parts which over time wear out and need to be replaced. Kiln manufacturers recommend you replace your mechanical relays approximately every 2 years. Solid-state relays have no moving parts and last far longer than standard mechanical relays and offer far better temperature control during hold times. Since solid-state relays also have no moving parts to wear out, they NEVER need to be replaced. You will notice that solid-state relays are silent. The only sound you will hear is just the reassuring hum of the heating elements. So, this factory upgrade saves you potential down time from having to wait for new relays to arrive, potential over-fires from relays sticking in the closed position, potential aggravation from having to learn how to remove and replace the mechanical relays yourself. We think this upgrade is well worth the cost and will save you time and aggravation over the life of your kiln.
