Will you have din rail terminal blocks?
Yes, the were lost on the way from China apparently. I have a rush order coming in 2-3 weeks. I have the ends, dividers, and every other part, just not the terminal blocks themselves.
Will you have din rail terminal blocks?
What brand (manufacture) parts are you using? They look like ABB copies but I cannot really make it out.
Anyway, if you throw a rock in the air in Houston you can't help but hit a electrical distributor. I new one walks through my door every week. I can point you at a few if you would like to offer premium components on your site along side the economy parts. If anything they can get you out of a bind when you get low on something, like terminal blocks. Unfortunately, their prices can sometimes be out of reach of a typical home brewer.
Only at post #88 so I assume we're still under 100.
Coupon please...
BTW, something you may want to considering adding to the site are the 22mm buzzers. Seem crazy expensive domestically; I bought a pair off eBay from China for significantly less (with a 4-6 week wait of course).
Question, If I want to power only one element at a time, but use a switch to choose between them, do I need two SSRs?
Run the SSR before your 3-way switch you could, but you will still have 2 hot elements because your second pole will always be hot. I use 2 SSRs and 2 contactors after the SSRs like Tiber_Brew in my setup.
They'd still have one hot leg, but I have a switch that turns the whole thing off when I want to. The element isn't "hot" with only one leg on, and won't complete a circuit that way.
Either way wouldn't the 3 way switch have to be able to handle that much power? The switches i see don't seem to be able to.

Can't remember exactly, but I think this one does look more professional. I'm planning to buy some new switches and LED pilots, so looking forward to your site getting all setup.
