Hey all,
So I've been mightily inspired by JKarp's Countertop Brutus, BK's Simple Brewery, etc., and am looking to build a similar system. For ease and transportability, I'm keeping it 120v, and using two elements (2000W and 1500W), using one 20A circuit and one 15A circuit. I'm trying to fit everything into a single toolbox (a la BK). I know the wiring here is relatively simple (i.e. no resistors or capacitors or other wacky stuff), but I want to make sure I have everything right before I start building!
Anyway, here's what I have. Apologies for the messiness. I did it on Google Drawing (because, well, that's what I've got). I know it's not very schematic, but I tried to lay it out like the toolbox will be laid out - top of the frame is the back of the box, bottom of the frame is the front, sides are, well, the sides.
My sense is that I've got most of it, but wanted to make sure I got the little things right - fuses, LEDs, etc. Also, does it matter whether I use bus bars or terminal blocks? I have this drawing using both, but if there's an advantage to using either I'm totally willing to go with it.
Any and all suggestions from the brilliant minds here would be super helpful!
