Turned it into a temperature controller for our hotplate because i was unhappy with the original one which came with the plate. I will add an NTC later to make a 2.0 version, but i was already happy with the result. The hotplate is rated about 1,5 k. I had it switched on for 90 mins, and the heatsink did not get very warm, so that a big plus too. Honestly i don't think it can do 10 kW for a long time, but it suits my purpouses very well.

Amazing 11 day delivery from BG. Delivery times seem to be getting quicker and quicker- excellent. The little unit arrived with the pot socket on the board a bit bent but otherwise all was well. Must admit I was a bit confused by the fact that there were only two connection points and no labeling to say what went where. Other regulator boards seemed to all have three or four connections and these were labeled as IN, OUT and Common or Live in, Neutral in, Live out and Neutral out. In the end I figured the two connections had to be live in and out and since they weren't labeled it maybe didn't matter which was which. I hooked up a 100watt bulb using the left connector (nearest the heatsink upstand) for live in and the other for live out. Plugged in and stood back and switched on. No bang and turning the pot gave full range of brightness on the bulb-phew! Only slight niggle is that the first third of pot range does nothing with all the action coming after this 'dead' zone. I'll try on other loads and if necessary change the pot for a smaller value to get an even spread of power. All in all my first impression is very good and this module seems to be excellent value for money.
