Question about 240v GFCI protection circuit

[SpentBrains]

Thanks Pete. I've had elements short out in hot water tanks, but it's always been under the house or in the basement while I was asleep or at work. Trips the breaker and $15 later you're back up and running. Ive never seen and hope I never see the process while staring into an open top keggle. But I figured the grounded frame was enough.

You should be using something like the Hot Pod to directly ground the pot and associated water. Either that or with a keggle just weld a bolt to the thing and tie it to ground that way. Don't rely on contact for grounding.

Hot pod?

oh... well no... I'll weld up my own enclosure with a knockout and strain relief/ cord retention device....

I want to mount up an LED to each element that indicates when it's firing.
