Hi Everyone,
I'm in the process of building myself a sparkly, new all-electric 3v RIMs brewery. I'm scoured the interwebs, taking the best of all designs and putting them together. Just to note, I live in Australia, where we only have 240v power which is delivered as a 3 point plug (Active, Neutral and Earth).
What I need to know is does everything look right? I'm fairly confident with wiring and electronics, but I'm not a sparky. Any advice would be very helpful.
Edit: Sparky is Australian for electrician
I'm in the process of building myself a sparkly, new all-electric 3v RIMs brewery. I'm scoured the interwebs, taking the best of all designs and putting them together. Just to note, I live in Australia, where we only have 240v power which is delivered as a 3 point plug (Active, Neutral and Earth).
- In order to run everything, and given that I am currently in a rental (and will be for the foreseeable future), I have two source of 10A power going into the unit, which will be run off of separate circuits in the house.
- Each source will power only one 2200w to 2400w element at a time
- The boil kettle will have two elements to allow for a vigorous boil.
- Each element will be run through a 40A SSR
- Each circuit will also run a pump (yet to dicide but from what I can tell the Keg King pumps only draw 0.1A
- There are going to be three way switches (e.g. RIMs/BK1/OFF) for each circuit.
- For the sake of cost and safety, I've decided to use 12vdc powered switches and relays.
- The system is controlled by PIDs (Aubers) with the BK elements running of each circuit and controlled by the BK PID.
