I am reposting this with an updated title and some revisions
So basically looking to do the same main panel build as BrewskiBroski with a keezer/ferm sub panel
found here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/he...tric-bcs-460-2-element-brewing-system-300259/
And need some help/advice on build/schematic
50Amp Panel Mounted GFI
3 - 20 gal kettles
HLT and BK both have 5500W heating elements
HERMS system with the heat exchange coils in the HLT
2 march pumps
1Keezer - cool
1Ferm Chamber - Heat/Cool
BCS 462 to maintain temps and on/off for pumps
At any given time, I need to run 1 element and 2 pumps (never running both elements at the same time) as well as ferm freezer and keezer
What i'd like:
A panel with switches for manual/auto(BCS 462)/off for each element and both pumps as well as an e-switch, master key switch and indicator lights for ferm/keezer
Wondering if its possible to use this for pumps, keezer and ferm:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BKARFU/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
seems cleaner and expandable than going ssr route
And use this for 5V power: http://dx.com/p/5v-3-8a-regulated-s...ilver-145841?gclid=CL_e5piDqbQCFUKd4AoddH0AIg
Also considering moving the ferm/keezer to its own sub box. Possibly some sort of pluggable A/C, cat 5 for relay control and power and 3 wire shielded for temp probes. If I went this route i would use ssr's for pumps in main control panel.
Any input would be appreciated, thanks!
