Below is my 240v circuit. Does it look okay?

Basics are ok. Some questions:
  • What is the current capacity of the 240V input source?
  • Do you plan to operate the HLT and BK elements simultaneously?
  • If not intended to simultaneously fire, how will you prevent that from happening?
  • What gauge wire do you plan to use for the various circuit branches, and element power cords?
  • Do you need any 120V power inside the control panel?
Brew on :mug:
 
Answers:
  • 30 amp GFCI from a spa panel
  • At the moment I do not plan to operate simultaneously, so I have a switch to select either element.
  • Using 10 awg wire for the 240. 14 awg everywhere else.
  • Yes, I have 120 to operate my pumps.
