Topic starter asked about TA series PID wiring.

is your PID model index RNR or SNR? If it's RNR you will need an additional low voltage DC power supply for your SSRs. If It's SNR you can connect SSR directly to pid terminals 3and 4. Thermoprobe - Connect red probe wire to terminal 11 and also place a jumper wire between 10 and 11. One...

Sure you can use SSRs with no switch. However I beleive it's more convinient to have switch. This way you don' need to unplug BrewBit every time you want an infinite control.

You need to connect a load if you want to.measure a voltage. SSR is leaking some.very tiny amount of current wich transfers to a voltage if no load connected.

First of all - since BrewBit has 120V output you will need an AC-AC type SSR. Like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Solid-State-Relay-SSR-AC-AC-25A-70-280VAC-240-480VAC-25A-/171052325183 You can use any amp rated switch if you will switch SSRs control circuit instead of output lines. See...

If label says just a "220V" not like "80-220" it means the PID will not work on 110V, But you can connect it ac240V

You need a switch rated for 25Amp 240V minumum. But I'd reccomned to use a switch with a higher rating. For example http://www.ebay.com/itm/600V-32A-AC-2-Position-Rotary-Cam-6-Terminals-Universal-Combination-Switch-/310680748043

Yes you don't need a neutral at all if you need 240V only. Just two hots and a ground wire. But I'd recommend to wire a neutral from panel to receptacle in case if you will need a 120V in a future.

one hot wire goes from mains to your heating element another hot goes through SSR. Ground goes directly to an SSR base and to your kettle. Neutral is not needed.

If you make a connection as on the picture above - test button will work correctly.

You need to wire your panel exactly is it shown on your second diagram.

You don't need a neutral coming to element and if your controller is 240V only you don't need a neutral wire coming to controller either. But in any case you need a ground wire to ground metallic part of a controller and a kettle.

Yes, you can do it. but for 5500Watt element you need a huge and very expensive potentiometer.

Sure you can use that kit to control mashing temperature - you even don't need to turn it on/off - just adjust a power level to keep desired temperature . But as you said you will need to be present near to constantly monitor temperature and an adjustment if needed. You can buy an inexpensive...

Are you going to wire your spa panel direcly to distribution panel or going to plug it to 3 prong outlet?

I believe that any amazon transaction is pretty much safe. At least you can get your money back.

have you run an autotune procedure?

4 wires cord rated 45 Amp in assumption that all wires carry a full load. In your case only 2 wires will carry a load - two hots, neutral will be laded very insignificantly. So fill fre to use 6/4 cord.

yes, any SSR (but not SSVR) and you also need a thermoprobe.

by current diagramm both contactors controll only element. Yes it possible to do a such modification. But to controll a pump and a PiD will be enough a10 amp rated switch wich already present on diagramm. So switch 1 controlls all power and second contactor controls elemsnt using switch 2...
