Hi.
I have had a GOSUND SP 111 socket for a year through which I control the operation of an electric boiler.
Having a photovoltaic installation, I have set the operation of the boiler during the hours when photovoltaic production is greatest.
The problem arose a total of 2 years ago when I had the first GOSUND SP 111 device - at that time the device burned out, to put it mildly - it melted inside. The effect was that the device was taking the maximum voltage of the boiler but was not transmitting it directly to the boiler (i.e. I think so). The boiler showed that it was connected to electricity (the heater showed operation), but the temperature in the boiler did not even increase by a degree after 2 hours. Read the boiler was drawing max current and not heating. On the other hand, the GOSUND SP 111 plug heated up to the point where you could burn yourself and the plug itself smelled of burnt plastic.
Of course, I removed the plug, plugged the boiler directly into a wall socket and the boiler started heating normally.
I thought to myself - maybe the appliance had actually broken down and I bought a new appliance (same) from the shop.
After about 7-8 months of correct operation - the problem recurred. I noticed a low water temperature - after the hours the heater was supposed to be running.
I go down to the room where I have the boiler, the gosund sp111 plug is very hot again, the current consumption indicated by the plug gives a very high current consumption - as if the boiler had been heating for a longer time (and consumed e.g. 5KWh) and usually, when working properly, took max 4KWh at the same time (e.g. the day before).
The water in the boiler was as hot as if I had not switched the heating on that day.
(and the boiler heater again showed that it was working).
Please tell me what this could be caused by ?
The GOSUND SP 111 socket itself shows that I can connect a device to it with a maximum of 3680W and, as far as I know, the boiler heater has a much lower power consumption.
Why does the socket draw current, heat up, but does not seem to pass this current on to the output device (boiler? ) .
Why is it that the boiler directly connected to the installation works correctly and there are problems with the Gosund plug?
