I'm working on converting to all electric and have run into a problem. If you are going all electric and using a rims tube, it's difficult to get away from 3 elements. With a 10 gallon system I think I will need a 240v 5500 watt hlt and kettle elements, and a a 5500 watt ru at 120 for the rims. Given that, I am fairly certain I'll need 50a at a minimum. I have space in the breaker but the 50a control panel build is a bit pricier.
Alternatively I could go with herms. I already have a good rims tube and an electric HLT isn't cheap (esp since I'm trying to go with an all spike system).
Is there a solution I am overlooking or another creative idea?
Thanks !
