Rims Wiring Diagram help please

[Loodachris]

I just bought a Rims tube and will be buying all the electrical parts here in the coming weeks but would like to know if anyone could share a wiring diagram for a 1500 watt rims element 4500 watt heating element and one chugger pump. Would like the 2 elements to be controlled by PID and would have 1 temperature probes for each keggle. If anyone has a wiring diagram that matches this could you please share it? I have seen a few here but I have not found anything that matches what I am looking for. Thanks in advance

There are a few dozen diagrams posted here - look for a thread that talks about P-J's diagrams - it's a good place to start.

That's a step in the right direction for sure and thank you for the reply and what you do but do you possibly have one with one less pump but one more pid? Also what about the 110v for the pump?

As far as removing a pump - just delete those wires, easy enough to do in MS paint.

As far as the second PID - it would be wired the exact same, so jumper the power wires from the first PID to the second, add a second SSR, and you're in business. If you're planning to run 2 PIDs at the same time, make sure your power supply can handle the full load of your system and that your wiring is sized appropriately.

What about the 110v for the pump? It's there.

Also note that the diagram posted is for a 120v RIMS element, but it's just a wiring color change to turn it to a 240v RIMS (and run it from the other Hot not Neutral).

This is almost exactly what you'd need, modifying it shouldn't be too much effort.

I think this is what you are looking for:

BTW - BadNewsBrewery is right on the money with his advice.
With a 1500W - RIMS and a 4500W - BOIL element you will be drawing less than 30A - including the pump.
