Taken from my o-scope with a potentiometer controlled SSR (SSVR), 120VAC into a resistive load (60 watt incandescent lightbulb):

That is a much neater line than I anticipated.
Always impatient. But learning.

I'm not so good with scopes so I couldn't set one wire as flat ground. But in essence my regulator is the same. On at set phase angle, off at zero.

Bump for a super clean, easy to follow build
Re: My 220/240v 10000w SCR based controller build & parts list
Any update on these plans? Given there has been discussion about how it is wired I'm curious if the original plans (well done!) are still accurate/safe.
I built a PID controller per "bad advice" and have learned my lesson. It just doesn't do the job. So, I would like to build and SCR controller like this one and searching for the latest design.
thanks!

Those parts work well. You'll get a working controller with them. I use a different one now, but I built this one, and it still works great.
It's possible to go fancier or to get a kit for less than $60 from one distilling company online that uses a variable Solid State Relay and a potentiometer instead of doing it this way, but either way works fine.

Out of curiosity do you plan to document what you use now?
I am in the process of building this one but the idea that you've got something better has got me curious.
