This will be my simple setup for a single vessel electric brewery. I have one pump and will be running one 4500W element. Eventually i'll have a 3 vessel system, with 2 4500W heaters and 2 pumps. Do you guys spot any glaring errors? Thanks!
Wiring Schematic for my simple setup
Re: Wiring Schematic for my simple setup
Just had another idea. I was interested in adding the volt/amp meters to my control panel (like Kal,on this page:http://www.theelectricbrewery.com/contr ... t-2?page=9)
The meters themselves require a +5VDC power supply. Could I use two outputs on the BCS-462 to power them? Kal uses a couple of transformers to accomplish this, but the ready supply of +5VDC from the BCS would be much cheaper/easier to connect.
Thanks!

Re: Wiring Schematic for my simple setup
The +5VDC pin on the BCS can source up to 300ma. I don't see on the ebay listing where they spec the current requirements of the meter. He uses 2 1amp dc power supplies, one for each... So I would guess that 300ma wouldn't cut it, but you could ask the seller for more info.
I love the electric brewery website. That guy has some good ideas.
