Hello, I have built a SCR 240V for my boil keg to control my 5500 W heating element. I followed George’s design on Barley & Hops on YouTube. I ran a test run and my Volt/Amp meter states that when I have the Potentiometer set at 0% I am running at 214V. When I set the Potentiometer at 100% I run at 241V. Why do I not have control of the voltage at zero on the Potentiometer? It should run from zero Volt to 240 Volt. My SSR-40VA is the 2W model as George explained, but my Potentiometer is the RV24YN 20S B303. I wonder if I have the wrong Potentiometer possibly. Can anybody offer any help?
