Hi all. Long time reader, first time poster.
I'm currently designing my minimal HERMS brewery utilizing the standard Camco 5.5KW heater element, but I am disappointed to discover that my house only has 3-wire 240VAC 60Hz (US) system. As a result I can not efficiently or safely split the rails to get a 120VAC line as many electric rigs do in order run my theoretical March pump.
The data sheet for the pump lists that is operates at 115VAC/230VAC and both 50/60Hz. Given this I may just want to stick with 240VAC throughout the entire system, but I can't find any information here or elsewhere with people running their pumps at 240VAC 60Hz.
Thoughts/Experiences?
