I've got an idea from looking at some of P-J's diagrams. Here's my plan:
1 auberins PID with output going to a DPDT switch. The switch selects between 2 40a SSRs. One SSR runs the 120v 1500w element on my RIMS tube, the other runs dual 120v 2000w elements on my boil kettle. I would also put in a SPST switch for my pump.
I'll have a total of 3 120v GFCI circuits in my shop (only because I already have the wire and GFCI for 120v).
I would, of course, have an RTD in my RIMS tube. But would I also need to add one to my boil kettle to use the manual mode on the PID?
Would a setup like this work or am I stuck having to buy 2 PIDs? I would put up a pic of what I'm thinking about but I'm not on my PC atm.
