Electrical Service and Electric Kiln Ordering:
Most
electric Kilns are available for household and commercial electrical
service. Some of the smallest kilns are available only for the home and
some of the largest only for commercial locations.
The determining factor is the voltage and phase of your electricity.
- With
rare exception household electricity is 240 volt, single phase. This is
also referred to as 220 volt. You may wish to confirm with your
electrician that you have normal household current and sufficient
amperage if you are in doubt.
Since
it is expensive to ship a replacement for a mis-ordered kiln, we
require that you submit the
when ordering a kiln for a
commercial location. Click Here for web/html version Electrical Confirmation Form for Commercial Electric Kilns.
