Hello All,
I am going to start to build my panel and I have the schematics from Ebrew Supply. Is this a good schematic or are there things that I should change or use another schematic.

I am competent in wiring and weak on the BCS side of things any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
CBG

Its a good schematic. The only question you need to ask is: do you want mechanical override switches? Before you jump to the quick conclusion of "yes", consider that the user interface serves essentially the same purpose, more wiring = more cost & opportunities for failure, and less freedom to make changes later.

The last one is a big one in my opinion. The benefit of a soft interface is it's freedom to make changes without hardware commitment. Why have it otherwise? I have no switches on my BCS fully automated rig other than the key switch and the E-stop.
 
Question: Did your kit come with 25A breakers (as in the schematic) or the listed 32A breaker (on the website description). I'm assuming this was changed after people were fusing their 25A contactors. Thanks!
