The PID is a REX C700. It can be powered by 220, 110 and even 24v. Not the best PID for this application but will work. Check some pictures on page 2 of this thread. I can't use the neutral because my outlet only delivers 220 (110 + 110) and Ground on 20A. The lefthand wires are connected...

JCOSbrew, I have only 20A available in the outlet. The GFCI is rated 30A and i will use it just for protection. B.Regards

Following all tips and remarks on my project, here`s a new lay out. I hope it is right this time. Thanks

Here`s the new lay-out - No buzzer, but with added safety and lights. The lights are designed "in series", but i already know that they must be connected "in paralel". Thanks.

Now i understand how this works. I have a verry basic knowledge of electrical design and assembly and cannot express how grateful I am for your and other members help. I'll post tomorrow the new setup with this changes. Thanks again.

This won't be a problem. I have 2 keggles and pretend to build both. So I can sell the second unit and recover money. I considered 15.9A (3.500w) for the element, 3A for the pump and the other 1.1A for the signaling lights, buzzer and PID. But how should i consider the 3A from the pump?

So I can remove the buzzer and problem solved. I have 2 K thermocouples (short and medium). This won't be an issue. As the PID didn't drive the SSR, I thought wiring the 12v transformer in the PID RELAY output port. So the transformer will drive the SSR when in manual mode and in auto mode it...

Friends, The great concern is the limited power supply of my outlet in 20A. I have a few equipments like contactors, signaling lights, buzzer, and other stuff in 110V, as i was planning to make as a P-J design BUT i didn't check the power output issue (stupid!). So i had to make a lay-out...

I received it last monday and it was still packed (Shame on me!) untill now REX-C700-FK02-M*AN Output: RELAY

Mattd2 My PID is a Rex-C700. The manual is in this link: http://www.rkcinst.com/english/pdf_manual/imnzc18e3.pdf . Thanks.

Floormatg, The PID power the buzzer directly with 220v output. The buzzer is 220v 20ma. And the transformer for the pump is rectified. Best regards.

Attaching lay out... In the heating element, were its written 3.500W please consider as 3.200w. I don`t need to use 110V in this simple panel, but in all other lay-outs that i saw here in HBT they use the neutral line. Thanks again (and sorry about any mistakes in my writing)

The image link is broken. Tomorrow i send it again.

Folks, I`m building a 10 gallon single vessel system (like braumeister) but I have a few serious issues and i`m requesting all help you can give!!!! The first and most serious problem is that i live in an apartment that has 220 V outlets limited in 20A and NO NEUTRAL. All those wirings are 4mm...
