Thanks! I don't have any bus bars other that what you see. Some of the DIN rail terminals have jumpers across them to distribute the two hots and the neutral. The jumpers are the maroon coloured bars that you can see in the middle of the terminals on either side of the right contactor. The...

The BUD box you linked comes with a plate that mounts to the back of the box on standoffs. You can attach the DIN rail to that plate using short screws or nuts/bolts. Here's the inside of my panel using DIN contactors and distribution blocks. I didn't use a DIN mount SSR as it's attached to a...

I went with tie straps and anchors. And a bit of split loom. As far as I can tell the anchors are still holding strong.

The contactor is there as a fail safe. Since the SSR is solid state there is a possibility that if it fails it will fail closed. In that situation interrupting the signal from the PID would not turn it off and you would have 240v where you don't expect it. You could also use a high current...
