How to check the operation of a control transformer on an L&L automatic kiln. Applies to all automatic kilns that are not 480 volts. The control transformer reduces the incoming line voltage from 240, 208 or 220 volts to 24 volts for the control and 12 volts for the relays. See this page for more detail.

In this video we will demonstrate how to upgrade your kiln from Type K thermocouples to Type S.
- Brick plugs
- Brick cement
- Type S Thermocouples (short for most kilns)
- Type S Thermocouples (long for Easy-Load)
- Type S Lead Wire (by the foot)
- All Type S Lead Wire (Assemblies)
- Spade Terminals for thermocouples
