Need wiring schematic for 2 kettle setup: 120v RIMS MT, 240v BK with 1 pump, 2 circui

[mmmbeer31]

Hi all, I'm new to the forum. Does anyone know if a schematic exists for a 2 kettle setup with 2 separate circuits in the same panel? My mash tun with RIMS and pump will be on a 120v 20a circuit and my BK/HLT will be on a 240v 30a circuit. I want to be able to still use my controller when I brew outside with propane, hence the separate 120v circuit for just the pump and RIMS element. I'd like to have 1 power switch only. I have 2 PIDs with set already. Thanks in advance.

That's exactly what I made, however, I just used two schematics on the forums from PJ. My 120v circuit runs the 1500w element for the rims and my pump. My 240v circuit runs my hot rod which goes between my hlt and bk.

Edit, if you do a google search for PJ electrical schematics then you will find the wealth of knowledge that's on these forums.

Sorry, I should also mention that the pids for each circuit are powered by that circuit. So when the 120v circuit is plugged in, the pid controlling the rims element is powered and the same for the 240v circuit.

That's great. Can you post the diagrams you used? It's hard searching through the hundreds of posts. Also, did you use 1 power switch or 2? How's it all working out for you?
Thanks.

I don't remember which ones I used. I drew them out in paper based on the pj diagrams and have discarded them since. As you can see from the front of my panel, I do not have a main powers switch. I just have switches for each element and the pump. I didn't need as many bells and whistles as most have.

I would just pick the pj diagram for 240v single element and the diagram for 120v single element and single pump.
