This example shows how to lace up the elements using various gauges of wire to accomodate the various amounts of power being conducted to the bolt terminals.

The Marinite Connection Board from the back of our kiln.

Wiring Pattern where:

This image is just a sketch of the element path. This element is placed as a set of four in our front loader kiln so the elements come in from the back and exits in the back and they go in this rather circuitous route around the inside of the kiln. It is symbolically equated to a simple resistive element.

In our kiln there are four elements connected in what is called parallel configuration. The image to the right shows these four elements connected in parallel going through a mercury relay.
