Finishing up my control panel build this weekend and still haven't decided what I am doing for the receptacle from the breaker box.
My current plan is the following:
1. Install new L14-30R receptacle next to my existing 3-pin dryer outlet on a new 30A breaker.
2. Run wire with L14-30P from 50A Spa Panel to new receptacle (~8ft).
3. Hard wire 50A Spa Panel to new control box (no reason to need to separate spa panel and control box than I can think of).
Control panel handles a single 5500W Element and single pump for BIAB. Using a Raspberry Pi for control, 40a SSR for Element, 5v Relay board for the 120v chugger pump.
This seem like a good idea, or is there a vastly better way I'm overlooking? Would prefer to not hard wire the Spa Panel into the breaker panel.
