Here is an example of a 3 station (element) controller. With this unit, a fan is used to help rapidly shed heat.

Here is an example with no fan but does have a digital meter that displays Amperage and voltage.

Firstly, the controller that we offer is originally intended for distilling. The 5500 watts (on a 5-10 gallon kettle charge) is only for rapid heat up. Once running temps are achieved, the controller would typically be dial back to 2200-3000 watts or so. Secondly, the kits are just that. Kits...

The holes are sufficient. I have been using one of these for about 5 years with out any issues. However many of our customers are installing fans to insure that they get an optimal service life out of the controller. Furthermore, some users are installing multiple control stations in one...

As an aside, many households here in the states now have the 4 conductor plug/receptacles for the range and dryer circuits. Previously the 3 conductor solution would have been typical. But modern appliances now have control panel accessories (think clock) that are energized with 110/120 volts...
