BUILDING A 240 VOLT 20 AMP PID CONTROLLER STEP BY STEP PART 2

[@KYLE-jm6tr]

Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us on home distilling. I love your videos. Thank you for showing me the ropes. Look forward to a new video or a farewell sign off

“I’d rather have a hole that’s too small, because I can always take out a little bit. If the hole was too big, you can’t put anything back.” George, never have truer words been said. 😉

[@derrickfoster644]

to be fair you can but stuff back it is just a LOT harder to do

[@urbanagolfer]

Awesome videos, im building a powder coating oven from scratch and wasn't sure how to wire two heating elements using a pid and ssr. These two videos gave me the basic idea I needed. Now to figure out how to fobit without the outlet and switch. My setup will plug directly into a dedicated 240v stove outlet with a dedicated breaker that i use as the switch.

Thanks George. These are fun projects to do.

[@bgrajower]

This is amazing! Super detailed !

[@scottdesart275]

Awesome video George. Thank you for us uneducated. One question, could you provide a complete parts list and where you purchase those items? That would be fantastic

[@williamweesner1191]

Again, thanks George, I would surely rather have paid you to send one, but looks like I’m building one today

[@rickmooreEz-2chew-BBQ]

Very good video as usual George...thanks

[@davidcasner8873]

I am huge fan. Great Series! I built a PID controller. I bought a 100A AC Digital LCD Panel Meter Current Meter Monitor Energy Ammeter Voltmeter from ebay. I installed it just like you instructed. I schematic was facing up. When I turned it on it was upside down. Not fun.

[@tommylyon463]

Your awesome.Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@kenwalker4203]

Great video very educational

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

Glad you think so!

[@jasonblanton7185]

Baking soda will activate and harden the super glue instantly and makes a super hard polymer, it's what they use to repair deep scratches and small chips on carbon fiber rotor blades on air craft!!!!!!! Super stuff pardon the pun lol

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

Awesome tip. Thanks George

[@alvincolbert4934]

I built a PID controller following your video when I got it finished it worked fine on my one kettle which is 220 volts I bought a distilling he heater emlet and I hooked it up and it blew my SSR 40 amp relay switch with that particular one do I need to buy a bigger relay switch or will it work if I bought a 60 or 80 relay switch would that be fine

[@adamwanderscheid8559]

Great video!

[@jamienelms4718]

Love your videos....to upgrade to a 30 amp system the receptacle and cord plug need to be changed, or will the on/off switch need replaced?

[@knuckle47]

George, is there a difference when you place the temp probe in the “point of no return” using a thermowell or directly into the vapor. . . Even in reaction time or does it not matter?

[@rodneysharpe5832]

wee question George... is it a good ides to make and use a PDI 240 with a digi boiler?? just bought one and have started watching your tutoring videos.... cheers brother

[@bloombrewingCo.]

Also, the "Dremel" tool , a Rotary Tool, with a "Flex Shaft" that your using. I see that Harbor Freight has a flex-shaft for there cordless one, but not the AC power one. Where do you get this??

[@robbwick3567]

Do you have a hard copy cheat sheet list the parts for the 240v PID?

[@bloombrewingCo.]

The "Flair Drill Bit" you use is actually a Countersink Drill Bit, so I assume this is what your using to hide the screw heads.....

[@vregino36]

Hey George what kind of fan is it that you used to cool down the relay?

[@haynesjr78]

Can it be used with a fan for air flow on a bbq pit.

[@DakotaSBuildchannel]

Can you build me a 40 amp setup for dual element Powdercoat oven

[@woodsy169]

Can we get a parts list of everything used?

[@jonathanc8513]

Hi good stuff George! I can see the switch on electricbrewery.com are 10 amps only whats the difference for controlling the camco 5500w?

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

It is always wise to switch the lowest current requirement. The controller itself is very low so if it doesn't work the element doesn't work. Switching the controller is the smart way to go

[@gemrough]

Yea it would be much quicker to use a CNC... might take a little to make the file but once done would be a big time saver.

[@DeadBugDug68]

what size is the box

[@tomstephenson1981]

How much do you charge for a pid controller?

[@badgerkadar8589]

huuummm so the pid for 240 is the same as for 110 .just biger ssr . right

[@ndrjskrbnk]

hahaha, great: "when you make several hundreds of those it gets easy" ... :)

[@Hitbychance]

what would i change to turn this into a 30A max for a 5500watt element?

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

Have a circuit that can handle 30 amps and use 10 gauge wire.

[@garyuplinger7141]

Where can I get a list of materials to make this?

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

Below this video or one of the other ones on PIDs has a complete list with links.

[@tomsuica8731]

3:50 did this dude just go UK on us?

[@jasonblanton7185]

You can just take the controller off a hot water heater and use it to control your element!!! Just saying it would work !

[@BarleyandHopsBrewing]

Not without retrofitting the controller. Max setting on the controller is around 150 F.

Dirty talk @ 13:33. George is your daddy
