I will try and make this short and sweet, but it usually doesn't end up that way for me. If I use wrong terminology feel free to correct me as I have little experience around the internal components of electronics, and I want to do it right. The good news is my buddy knows a fair amount about it so he offered to help.
I am building a parts list for a control panel to run a single pump and 5500w element for a HERMS system. The boil kettle is still heated via propane.
I have tried to do my due diligence in reading through multiple posts as well as Kal's control panel build walk through.
So I am considering the following 3 options...
The basics and order the rest
http://www.ebrewsupply.com/1-pid-30a-biab-kit/
Has everything I need except it is not the PID I want
http://www.ebrewsupply.com/complete-30a-biab-kit/
Or Order everything individually
I will post my parts list, but note that I may not purchase everything from Auber. I will look for better prices if I can find them.
I believe this would be the appropriate design for what I want that I found in another thread created by doug293cz.
Parts List (Not going to have an element firing lamp)
Am I missing anything? (Even stuff you may consider minor but I left off!)
1- Enclosure with 40a heatsink
http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34&products_id=340
1 - EZboil

1 - Main Power Switch
http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=32&products_id=349
1 - 1amp fuse
http://www.ekmmetering.com/ekm-inline-fuse-holder-w-1-amp-fuse.html?gclid=CMuSgcXIkNMCFQgFaQodh50GAg
1 - 10amp fuse

10ga Wire

I am a little unclear on what block options I need for the main power switch.
What are the purple and turquoise wires going from the PID to the SSR?
Is a 50a GFI Spa panel the best way to go to run my 240 into?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
