Why are the volts so high in tc mode.

On my ipv 4 it's set to 34 j,475 degrees with a .5 ti coil. With all that the voltage seems really high to me it's 5.5 to 5.8 volts. The cape is good but I don't see why the voltage is so high. I thought joules were equal to watts so if they are using an ohms law Calculator it says volts should be way down.

In order to get the to the temp selected and the Joules of output, voltage has to be high since you are firing into such a low Ohm resistance load.

^Lower ohm loads require less voltage.

The reason the voltage displayed by the device is higher than you'd expect though is because the resistance of the coil increases as it heats up

Normally yes with the lower voltage, however to regulate the the load temperature, the voltage increases as the load does, you are correct. To achieve a set temperature, the voltage will increase to obtain the temp since the watts are static.

Thanks guys.
