Hi all, I'm seeking the opinion and expertise of the learned members of this board to take a look at this part and tell me if it might work to control a 240v 2000w element.

All the parts are visible though its a little hard to see whats written on the part connected to the heatsink. Long story short, I don't want to burn the house down. Any assistance is much appreciated and thank you in advance.

I haven't used that exact one, but it is probably ok. My preference is to use a controller that is more than capable of handling the Watts I use, so if they have a 4000W model, I suggest you get that.

Good point. May as well ere on the side of overkill. Just might go with one rated for 10kw
Thanks for the tip!

Sure, I'm leaning more towards this one now, as it leaves me with plenty of leeway for upgrades. 240v 10kw though I guess a 4kw would do for now...
