Basically Im converting my propane rig to electric. Im looking at doing something similar to this:
With the following exceptions:
1.) No pumps.
2.) The PID would be replaced with a PWM like this one:

with the C1 replaced by 2.2uF capacitor as done by many on this site. I would use a 12VDC wall wort or equivalent to provide input power.
3.) I would use a main disconnect switch to function as both the e-stop and the on/off switch instead of like the diagram, mostly because I have some. Its a 40A 380V rated switch by Entrelec that looks like this:
Also, I would probably add an indicator light to show when power is on even when the heating elements are off.
P-J, any chance you could update a schematic for me?
