raysmithtx.Even after reading the thread twice, I have a couple of questions regarding a 2 element build.
My shop/garage has a 240 outlet but all of the 120V plugs are on one circuit breaker so I can't use 2 120V plugs. When weather permits I would like to use the system on 240V but when I have to brew indoors I would like to use it on 120V since there's not a 240V outlet but I can get to different plugs on different circuit breakers.
Can I wire the system to use one leg(?) of the 240V to each element so I can brew in my shop (5 gallons) and then also have each element set to have 120V plugged in when I want to brew in the house (2.5 gallons with one plug and 5 gallon with both)? So in effect I would have 3 input plugs. 1 for 240 and 2 for 120V. Not being an electrician I just want to be sure there's not anything really dangerous about this.
If this is impossible or dangerous, please let me know.
Very helpful group on this thread and the builds are awesome!
There are a lot of things that can be done to achieve what you are wanting to do.
Please tell me more about what you are trying to achieve. I'll put my old brain to work to try and give you a solution. BUT - I need a lot more more info about your desired set up...
