I’ve bought an Inkbird ITC-106VH PID controller with the intention of building my own ATC.
The PID uses 110vAC and I will using a 12vDC fan. The output from my PID is 12vDC.
My question is should I use the PID output to switch the input SSR and have my 12vDC wired through the output, or am I ok to hook up my fan directly to the PID output?
The only negative I can think is that the fan will be drawing all its power straight from/through the PID whereas if I use the PID to switch the SSR all the power for the fan will be coming from its own 12vDC plug in power supply?
Anyone have any input?
Thanks
