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 refered to as 220 volt.  You may wish to confirm with your electrician that you have normal houshold currentand sufficient amperage if you are in doubt.
  
• Commercial locations vary in their electrical service. Some are 208 volt, some 240. Some are single phase and some three phase.
  

Since i

t is expensive to ship a replacement for a mis-ordered kiln, we require that you submit the form below when ordering a kiln for a commercial location.

A dedicated circut breaker is necessary for most electric kilns. All electric kilns carry an amperage rating. This refers to the circut breaker and  outlet type required for the kiln. For any electric kiln you will want to have an electrician install the necessary breaker and outlet before your kiln arrives. We will assist you with the specifications when you order.

If you are installing a kiln vent you will need an outlet nearby for that as well.

...hope this is helpful. Feel free to call or email with any questions you have about electrical service for your new kiln.
