I have been out of the country for awhile, but back to brewing.
However, I have run into a problem.
Before I left, I converted my brutus-10 style sculpture to a e-HERMS.
I am running two 5500 heating elements in both my HLT and Boil kettle.
Currently I have everything wired up like this
Except the elements are running off 220VAC and I'm using a BrewTroller.
The problem that I am having is... When I choose to turn on my heating elements, nothing happens. Although I do get signal that the BrewTroller is telling the SSRs to switch on. But I get nothing to the elements, even though they should be getting power from the 220VAC 60amp.
Is there a different way to wire this thing up using 220VAC as apposed to using 110VAC?
I am heading out to my house again right now to make sure everything is hooked up properly and I will take some pictures of my wiring. Here is something I drew up with paint of how I have it wired up at the moment. (Not 100% drawn up but maybe you can get the idea. pic is probably really big too.)
Basically I have my SSRs wired up the same as in the first picture, sorry if all the crossing lines are confusing.
Does anyone have some input?
I would just like to say I am no electrician, and I hope I dont have something awful wired up that could kill me...
