So I need to make an E Rig as cheap as possible because im on a tight budget. Ive been searching for a while for a wiring diagram to fit my design need an have only come up with diagrams that partially fit what im looking for.
Im going with a 2 element system. Original i just wanted a manual setup but thinking about going PID plus SSR and am considering this panel design: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/simple-control-panel-wiring-help-216604/
With a manual switch to toggle between HLT and Boil Kettle similar to what Kal has:
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/selector-switch-automatically-turns-off-when-powers-cut-203034/
My question is can i wire two elements in to the panel and set the toggle switch in between the two to select which element is hot when i choose. I know Ill have to change over the thermocouple or switch to manual mode to run the bk. Just looking for some info or a link to a setup like im looking for.
Thanks
