Stripping Column

Postby TheMechwarrior » Thu Jun 25, 2015 12:06 pm

Can anyone here draw up the electrical diagram for the control box for this? I'm not electrical engineering savvy.

I have a sparky who can do the work for me but he needs to know what I want him to do, since he has no idea what this is or what its trying to do.
Initially I'll plug 2 x 15A 220V 3600W (7.2kW total) elements to drive this.

I still need to buy a suitably sized control box and I'll need plugs/adapters for the control box to suit the items below.
Open to suggestions for the best/convenient plug/connection types.

I dropped the pressure control loop and replaced it with a temperature control loop.

Parts list:

1. Digital PID Temperature Controller D1S-CR-220 4-20mA+Relay 100-240VAC
2. Digital PID Temperature Controller D1S-2R-220 relay output + relay alarm output
3. Digital PID Temperature Controller D1S-VR-220 SSR output + relay alarm output
4. RTD PT100 Temperature Sensors 1/2” NPT Threads with Detachable Connector
5. RTD PT100 Temperature Sensors 1/2” NPT Threads with Detachable Connector
6. RTD PT100 Temperature Sensors 1/2” NPT Threads with Detachable Connector
7. SSR-40LA 4-20mA to AC28-280V 40A Single Phase SSR Solid State Relay w Cover
8. 125mmx70mmx50mm Single-phase Solid State Relay SSR Heat Sink Dissipation
9. Single Phase Solid State Relay SSR-40AA 40A 150-350VAC 24-480VAC w Heat Sink
10. 110-220V To DC 12V 24V LED Strip Light Switch Power Supply Driver Transformer
11. 110-220V To DC 12V 24V LED Strip Light Switch Power Supply Driver Transformer
12. DC 12V 30W 0142 Motor High Pressure Diaphragm Water Self Priming Pump 3L/Min

Cheers,

Mech.

Hi mech

I used a Bunnings first Aid Cabinet for my controller. ( as per Olddog) as it seemed to be the cheapest and easiest solution

proper electrical boxes are much more expensive.

Metal bodied XLR mic plugs (3 pin) have served me well and are easy to connect/disconnect. similar are also available in 2,4,5 and 6 pin. Ebay are far cheaper than local suppliers.

What is your power source ?

Damn your control box looks sexy!

For power I have 415V & 220V 3phase as well as 220v single phase.

Thanks mech

How many amps do you have on single phase ?

is this build to be used in a commercial operation ? if so, what are the requirements for explosion avoidance ?
