Well I got one set closer today to my eBrewery, as I purchased two DC triggered 45amp SSRs. They are mande by Opto 22 and I got two for $20 shipped so I couldn't pass up the deal. I realize that a 4500watt element only needs 21A, but that would give me room to grow, possibly 20+ gallon system in the future running two elements per relay.

My concern is the heat sink used, as they are rated for 45amp, does that mean if only using 50% of it's rating 21amp, would I not need as large of a heat sink? Also would it be possible to mount both relays on the same heat sink if it was large enough?
