Since my only 220V access is a 3-pole outlet, I have to run one 120V line in as well as a 220V line for my 5500W heatstick element. However, I am having some trouble figuring out how to wire both of these into my control box in a logical, cohesive manner, and was hoping some some of the enlightened amongst us could give me a helping hand. Here is the VERY crude diagram I have so far:
So my first few questions are:
1. Is the neutral leg run into the box and the power in contactor correctly?
2. Where would I wire the load line from the 120V? I want to run it through a second NC contact on the E-stop, but then where, an additional bus bar? Since I already have the two lines from the 240V, I don't know where a third would safely reside
I am sure that more questions will crop up as I go, but we'll start here for now. Thanks for the help, and sorry for the crude nature of my diagram!
