AD searchHi all, just a quick question for the sparkies or elec guys out there.
I'm about to grab a few parts and chuck a keg into use as my new boiler.
I'm going to step up from 2" stuff to 4" unit.
I know that std power points are ok with 2400w elements, some tend to push the to 3600w, I've pushed mine to 2 elements 1800w+2400w (4200w) we all know thats far too much for normal power points, yes it gets hot quick but so does the cable, power point and my nerves, so I tend to use one or the other with no controler.
I have in my shed a sub-station power board that has 3 phase connected, I understand I can run 3 seperate power points on each phase with 10 or 15 amps, perhaps up to 3600w each.
I could do this and have a ssr power contoler for each element, and have 3 elements for super fast heat up times, fast stripping etc, then wind back to 1 element for normal runs.
Is there a better option to simply use the 3 phase generic either delta or star configurations, and what would I do for actual power control; 3 controls on each phase or is there a 3 phase ssr setup?
Thanks in advance for your opinions and suggestions.
