Finished BCS control panel
Posted: Mon Apr 05, 2010 7:17 am
I just finished this yesterday. Just a few more parts outside the panel left for full system functionality! Yes there's a couple holes left that I must seal up with some silicone.
Power routes through a 63a disconnect. Power for elements goes through 2 30a breakers, then 2 40a contactors, and 2 40a SSR's. Power for the contactor coils, 2 pumps, and BCS comes from the 10a breaker. All this is fed from my 100a subpanel right next to this box that I recently installed in this 10'x20' outbuilding. It houses a 60a gfci and 2 20a breakers for my fridges and lighting etc. It is fed from my main panel in my house from a normal 100a breaker, from which I buried 70 feet of 2 gauge 4 wire aluminum.
The BCS runs great! Thank you ECC for a stellar product. I now have to calibrate temp probes... using thermistors from Derrin at brewershardware.com and they read 224 at the boil and about 10F over in mash range. I gathered some temp samples and resistances and tried the calculator listed on this site, and the B value that the calc gives me will not take. Any suggestions?
