I'm building a 50 L keg boiler and want to know if one 3600 element is enough to run a 4 inch pot still and a 4 inch VM? Can I run a 3600 watt element with a voltage controler from a standard power point or would it be better to run two 2400 watt elements with their own voltage controlers from separate power points? Any feedback would be appreciated.
3600w, just. better with 2 x 2400. you need seperate circuts, not just seperate power points.
Plug a radio into different power points and flick circut breakers/fuses in the main swichboard (usually the meter box) until you hear the radio quit. Find two sperate circuts this way
or use gas. I have to use gas as the very limited power in my house as they have dodged it up. I was going to put a 40A dedicated circuit to the shed but I want to move the shed so that is a waste of money lol. Although the new shed will have it or more if I can run it, but think the electrician said if I go bigger I need bigger wire and will cost heaps more.
Edit: that 40A will have 3 circuits, 2 power 1 light but light is only 5A or less I think
