I've finally started my electric brewery build, after a couple of years of researching. I've decided to build a 50A, 3 element system. I will be running a 5500w element in the HLT and Boil Kettle and then utilizing a 2000W element in a RIMS tube to maintain mash temps.
I'm basing my wiring off the PJ diagram below with a couple tweaks.
I'm adding element-on lights, but not using a timer or a power switch for the PIDs. I'm also adding a keyed on-switch, that will activate a 63A contactor in order to power-up the panel. I won't be utilizing the PJ style e-stop. Instead, I will just use a traditional e-stop that will kill power to the 63A contactor.
I will use this thread to document my build, and hopefully it will be useful to someone else as they go thru their builds.
