In my original panel design I was planning on using a 2 position selector switch to select EITHER my 5500 watt BK element, OR my 5500 watt HLT element ala Ohio-Ed and Kal's panels.
This makes sense in Manual control because it keeps both elements from being fired at the same time and overloading my electrical supply causing the breaker to trip (50A GFCI) because of overcurrent.
It seems to me that if I have the BK selected and I'm running an automated brew session with Brewtroller then the HLT will not be able to be fired unless I turn the switch each time it needs to be in use, thus limiting the functionality of the automated process. What is my work around for this?
