Im planning an electric build with PID switching between two 240v 5500 watt elements but in the near future incorporating my Raspberry Pi to make it more automated.
I have looked at many wiring diagrams, mostly from the great PJ, and I have seen some with only SSRs and some with SSRs and Contactors.
How is one to decide which option is best? Is it based on application, types of equipment used, or just better use of equipment? Are there requirements to using one or the other?
If you have any other helpful advise, please share.
