Seeking PJ diagram ... or PJ :)

[bolts]

Been digging through various threads, but not having the best of luck finding the right diagram from PJ. Any pointers appreciated. Anyway, onto the business at hand. Another electric control panel build derived from Kal's.

Thanks!

x1 Input Power 240V/60Hz 30 amp NEMA L14-30

x2 Element power indicators (cycling in sync w/ the SSR)

x1 Element selector (3 position)

x3 PID (Auber)
- 1 controlling boil SSR
- 1 monitoring mash
- 1 controlling hlt SSR

x3 RTD Probes (Auber)
- 1 to each PID

x2 Illuminated Pump Switches
x2 Pump Outlets 120V/60Hz 15 amp NEMA L5-15

x2 Element Outlets 240V/60Hz 30 amp NEMA L6-30
x2 5500W elements (running one at a time)

x1 Illuminated Power Switch

x1 startup interlock

Sent you a PM.

my control panel is already done, but i would like to see how pj would recommend how to wire this up

@bolts/PJ...did you ever get a diagram for this one? I'd be interested in taking a look...I'm looking at building a control panel and am interested in seeing as many of these as I can!

Thanks!

P-J reviewed my diagram, which is based on others of his. I have since added the pilot lights (hopefully correctly). I should be starting a build thread if real life gets out of the way. Most of my parts are in hand now.

Edit -- there's an error in the element selector light hookup that fires both element relays; will update when I fix it. (Needs two more NO contact blocks)

That is a really nice diagram btw. What program did you use to make that?

This is all in Visio. I spend way too much time in Visio for my day job...

Just a question, it seems like your panel is only going to be 30amp and you will only use one or the other element and not both at the same time. If that is the case why do you need 3 pids? I have my control panel set up much like yours but only have one pid to control hlt or bk and one rtd temp display for the mash.

No good reason really. I'm contemplating a 50/60 amp feed which would let me do as you suggest with minimal changes. I just pulled the permit on wiring yesterday so it really comes down to the delta between the gfci breaker and wiring.
