    MOSFET Overheating and Nichrome Wire Always On in 48V Setup with RAMPS 1.4

    I'm using a RAMPS 1.4 board and thermistor to control the heating of 120 cm of 23-gauge N80 nichrome wire with a 48V, 5A power supply. The nichrome wire is meant to heat up when commanded via the D8 terminal on the RAMPS board, which normally drives a 12V heated bed. I am using an IRLZ44N MOSFET...

    Determining the Combined Gauge of Nichrome Wires

    Hi everyone, I have a quick question that I'm trying to figure out. I recently bought some Nichrome N80 wire, specifically the Pirate Coil Snake Alien 4. It consists of three 28-gauge wires and one 32-gauge wire twisted together. Can anyone help me determine the combined gauge of this wire...

    Rex-c100 and Nichrome

    Thank you! I’ll definitely give the 12V 16.6A power supply a try. I'll follow the wiring diagram provided, but I want to make sure I’ve got everything right. Could you please verify it before I proceed, just to avoid any potential damage?

    I won’t be heating it that much, only to around 320°F. Based on my calculations, I determined that I need a 47-inch length of Nichrome 80. I used 90% of this length because I couldn't find an option for Ni90 in the calculator. Are you suggesting that my calculations might be incorrect? Should I...

    Rex-c100 and Nichrome

    Here's what i've figured out, your feedback is appreciated : Power the REX C100: Plug the REX C100 into a standard AC outlet (110-240V AC) to provide it with the necessary power. Connect the REX C100 to the SSR: The REX C100 will control the SSR using its output terminals. These are usually...

    Rex-c100 and Nichrome

    Thank you for the link it's been helpful, after the calculation I've found out that i need 43 inches of Nichrome 90 wire and power supply of 12v 3A, i have a power supply of 12v 16.6A that i will use. My question is, can i power the rex c100 kit with this power supply? or do i need another...

    Rex-c100 and Nichrome

    Yes, you're absolutely right—this can be dangerous, which is exactly why I created this thread and sought your advice. I want to make sure I don't do anything reckless and end up causing damage. The area where the Nichrome wire will be placed measures 229 mm by 317 mm, giving a surface area of...

    Rex-c100 and Nichrome

    Hi Guys, so i'm building a thermoforming machine for pet plasctic it will heat up to 160 degrees Celsius, for the heating element i will use a nichome NI90 wire and to control the temperature i will use a REX-C100, SSR-40A Relay and thermocouple type-K So my question is do i need a seperate...
