I have been contemplating my e-build for a while and I thought about the possibility of DC-powered panel. Basically, AC to the heaters, pumps, etc. will still be switched by SSR's, but everything else in the panel would be run off low voltage. Basically, the idea is to use an old PC power supply to switch line voltage to 12VDC and use the output to feed the PID's, control switches, indicator lights, alarms, etc.
1) Is there any difference in using a DC powered PID, e.g. Auber SYL-2363B (accuracy-wise, reliability, etc.)?
2) What are the con's of powering a e-brew panel with DC voltage?
