good day
i need help with my project.
im designing an electrical water heater which is rated at around 14kw. ive been thinking of controlling the power by using scr. the thing is i want the heater to be able to regulate the power depending to the temperature of the water (by using thermistor or thermocouples).
my problem is im having trouble designing the firing circuit. i need to get a clue how to design this firing circuit.
the voltage source is 240v,50Hz, current draw will be 60A and the heating resistance is around 4ohm.
thanks,i appreciate any help that i could get.
