I am in the planning stages of building an electric rig. I'm married so I don't have all the money that I need for a complete setup, and I move a lot so I can of guarantee having 240v. As a matter of fact, I currently dot have 240v that I can use. For now, my goal is to make my HLT with a herman coil all electric. I will be using a 5 gal round igloo cooler to house the coil.
On to the place I need help. I've been looking at a whole bunch of threads and their associated wiring diagrams. I have never really worked with wiring so I'm not sure where to start with the diagrams. I have been looking for a pid for my controller, but I don't know how to wire it so that it controls the system. Also, I can't tell whether people are controlling the heating element or the pump.
I'm sure there are so good threads on here that I haven't found, if anyone can send some my way or know of a place to get really good directions on how to wire up the whole system to work I would greatly appreciate it. As always, thanks for all the awesome help!
