I have a simple RIMS setup with a 4500W 240V element in both the boil kettle and RIMS tube. BCS-460 with SSRs for each element.
The last couple times I have moved into new apartments I have been faced with a 3 wire 240V range outlet which worked ok and now a range outlet that is not accessible (drop-in range) so I'm on two separate 20A 120V kitchen circuits but always switching wires in the panel. 240V all the time would be great but not possible for us nomadic brewers who rent.
I would like to rewire my panel and add switches for each element to switch between 120V source or 240V source (I added 120V inlet to control panel along with existing 240V inlet) and while I'm in there it would be nice to have the ability to switch each element either off - BCS controlled - manual on.
