It looks like I might be making the move from gas to electric and am hoping to get some feedback before I get too far. I have an electrician friend who will be signing off on the final product, but I am hoping to avoid bugging him too much at this early stage.
I already have a BCS, so I'll incorporate that into this new control panel. I have two 32A circuits in my brew room, one for the HLT and one for BK. I've attached a diagram of the circuitry for the BK (to keep the diagram relatively simple), but this same circuitry will be duplicated for the HLT. The main idea here is to use two contactors in conjunction with a 3-way switch to run the BK either manually or automatically via the BCS. The thick lines represent 6mm2 cable; the thin lines represent 2.5mm2 cable.
I'd really appreciate any feedback from those who have gone down this path before and have a pretty good idea of how to keep my sparky friend from pissing himself with laughter when he sees what I've done.
Cheers,
matto
