I am in the process of building a full electric RIMS system. I plan on using a HWD 4500W or 5500W 220V element in the RIMS tube. I am going to use it at 220V to heat strike water or possibly other uses where I am just heating water (sous vide cooking?). I want to switch it to 110V and use it as a ULWD element whenever wort is involved. I plan on using a low voltage toggle switch in my control panel to switch a double throw relay to switch one leg of the element between line and neutral, giving me either 220V or 110V.
My question (or request) is: help me find a suitable relay. Preferably I would want a 12VDC coil, with contacts rated for at least 30A at 220V. I could use 110V for the coil if i had to.
Do you think either of these would work?

Also, any input on using a 5500W HWD 220V element at 110V? This will be a keggle system capable of 5-10 gallon batches.
Thanks
