I have looked through the many spa panel threads and am still not exactly clear on how to wire my setup. I have a 30amp breaker in the main panel, 10/3 with ground ruin to the garage where I brew, a 60amp breaker in a spa panel that will power a single 5500W element in an enclosure. I also have a Chinese SCR that has two power in lugs and two power out.
My electrician friend installed the breaker at the main and I ran the wire to the garage. He hooked the spa panel by attaching the two hots to the two lugs, the neutral to the neutral lug. He hooked the ground up to the neutral buss, which I'm not sure about.
I'm to the point now where I need to buy power cord, a couple plugs and hook this stuff up. I'm fairly sure I need a 10/3 power cable to hook to the two power connections and a ground on the enclosure. I'm not sure how to get the SCR in this loop, and I'm not entirely sure how to hook up the power cord to the spa panel.
Any help would be appreciated.
