Ive been using a Brutus 20 clone for awhile & decided that I would like to add an Electric HLT to the brewery to save on propane costs & simplify the brewday.
I had planned to run the element @ 240V, convert my control panel from 120V and power the whole thing with a single 240V 4-Wire Plug. So I bought a 30A 4-Wire GFCI for it I then got around to moving the dryer & discovered that I only have a 3-Wire 240V Outlet to work with.
Now comes my question: Would the GFCI still function properly if I rewired it using a 240V 3-wire plug and simply ignored the neutral wire?
I would add a separate 120V input to the control panel to power pumps, valves
Thanks,
Theo
