I'm hoping to repair an old egg incubator (hope this is the right place).and apologies
It was heated using x2 film heating elements wired in series, each one rated 115v 75w (I'm in the UK - mains @220v) controlled with a simple thermostat system
One has burnt out and i can't source identical replacement here, but I do have a film element rated at 240v 40w
I've been trying to calculate voltage across each if i connected them in series but I guess what I'm really trying to work out is can I connect them in series with a 220v supply without burning the house down?
Advice would be greatly appreciated - cheers
