SECTION 3 - SERVICING COMPONENTS
3. Supply
Ovens have a 208V, 220-240V, 380V, 416V or 480VAC
electrical supply. The control current of the oven oper-
ates at 110V, single phase. If the oven was specified
for a 3 wire system, it was supplied with an optional
control transformer to step the 3 phase current down
for the control circuit. If the oven was specified for a 4
wire system, the 4th (neutral) wire is utilized to split 2
of the 3 incoming 3 phase legs and obtain a separate
110V circuit. Most export ovens are supplied with a
stepdown transformer for the 110V control voltage.

XI. ELECTRIC OVEN HEATING SYSTEM
A. PS200-series ovens
1. Description of heating system
All PS200-series electric ovens use an on-off system
for heater activation. When the oven demands heat,
the temperature controller activates contactors that in
turn activate the heaters at 100% power. The contactors
open when the temperature rises to 2 degrees above
the set point, and close when the ovens temperature
falls 2 degrees Fahrenheit below the set point. Be-
cause of residual heat within the oven, however, the
temperature swing after preheating is about 5 degrees
Fahrenheit above and below the set point.
IMPORTANT: Because the PS200-series elec-
tric oven uses an on-off system for heater acti-
vation, the temperature controller MUST be
set to the on-off operating mode. Refer to Tem-
perature Controller on Page 30.
Early PS200-series ovens used mercury contactors.
208-380V ovens used two 3-pole contactors. 416-480V
ovens used a single 3-pole contactor. Six 50A fuses
(one per element) protect the heating circuit. See Fig-
ure 76.
Current PS200-series ovens replace the mercury
contactors with solid state relays mounted on heat
sinks. Six relays are used on 208-380V ovens. 416-
480V ovens use three relays. Ovens that use the solid
state relays also use 50A circuit breaker blocks in place
of the fuses. See Figure 77.
NOTE: All control wire used on these ovens is
rated at 221°F/105°C. DO NOT replace with lower
rated wire.
