Clay Horse Pottery Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 I purchased a duncan pro plus that is a 208v 45 amp single phase kiln and need to know if it can be converted to a single phase 240v like my skutt? And if it can, how do I do it? And at what cost? Is it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kielb Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Generally requires new elements (240v single phase) and follow the circuit diagram for the 240v single phase model. So the cost of elements, your time as labor and misc wiring as may be required. Not knowing what you are used to or what your. Skutt presently is. To add automation with some form of digital controller then likely 400.00 - 600.00 or more in controller parts, relays, wiring and your labor to fabricate things such as an enclosure and install it all. Last things I can think of is electrical run to the kiln, maybe an electrician and maybe add a vent if you are used to that on your Skutt. Is it worth it? I guess depends on the funds available and whether you can buy the kiln you want already made. With all the bells and whistles you can have a new old kiln for let’s say 1k-2k and sweat equity. Can you find something already made for that amount with absolutely new elements, relays, etc….. probably not.

neilestrick Posted February 19, 2023 Report Share Posted February 19, 2023 The conversion from 208 to 240 just needs different elements. Totally worth it if the kiln is in good condition. Clay Horse Pottery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
