Ultimate DIY Electric Kiln Guide - The Heating Elements (part 2)

In part 2 we're designing the heating elements to achieve 5000 kW of heating power with some help from Ohm's law and simple math. Heating element wire: Kanthal type D (1.4mm thickness) Total power = 5 kW Number of elements = 2 Element power = 2.5 kW Voltage = 230 V Current = 10.87 A (per element) Resistance = 21.16 Ω Wire length = 24.1 m Coil inner diameter = 8 mm Coil outer diameter = 10.8 mm Ceramic terminal blocks: www.amazon.com/Ceramics-Terminal-Porcelain-Connect…
