I am building an electric HLT, using a 160 qt cooler and water heater elements. I would like feedback on the attached design; I have some amateur wiring experience (service to my wood shop, rewiring motors, etc), but am certainly not a pro electrician.
Are there any critical wiring mistakes in this diagram? I have not decided on a particular temp. Controller or relays yet, so if any of you have suggestions, I'm receptive to those as well. Not stated in the drawing, but the project box will obviously be grounded as well.
Thank you all in advance!
PS: using 8ga with no neutral for the 40A, 240V circuit. I already have the receptacle installed in my garage. Probably 14ga for the 120V parts.
