Hey all, I guess this is a strange first post, but I've been lurking here for a while... Especially in the Electric Brewing section. You guys are a true inspiration!
I've begun a project to build a brewshed and electric brewery for 10 Gal batches. I've assembled most of the parts for the control panel, and while searching for relays, I came across these hybrid SSR/EM relays. They are good for millions of cycles and don't require a heatsink. They are a little expensive, but less than the cost of an SSRD.
I'll have two 5500 Watt elements controlled by a 3-way switch, PIDs and Relays similar to Kal's setup. I was thinking to use 4 of these relays. Two w/ 120VAC control for on/off switching, and two w/ DC control for PID input.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Moose
