Going Electric - almost there... Options

[dc2002]

Man...going electric is a lot of work...I think I'm about 1/3 of the way there or so...

Today I bought a 50A spa panel with a GFCI and installed it in the garage. I made room in my existing main panel and yanked the 50A GFCI breaker out of the spa panel and put it in the main panel. Then I ran some 6/3 into the garage to where I mounted the spa panel. Now I have 4 breaker locations to distribute from the spa panel that will be GFCI protected.

I plan to use one 30A 2 pole breaker for the element and 2 15A breakers to add a couple more outlets in my garage.

My control panel will plug into a 30A 240V outlet ran from the spa box...just trying to figure out how to run the wires behind walls and ceilings to minimize the conduit.

For the panel I will use an Auber PID with auto/manual setting, an SSR, a DPST switch for the 240V circuit to be able to kill all power to the element if necessary, and hopefully a 110V duplex outlet for the pump, radio, etc...still trying to figure the easiest way to have 110 in the control box...

Attached is a schematic of the panel thus far...still have to actually get an enclosure... (IMG:http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a125/kdcj2002/brew/brewbox.jpg)

Thanks to all the knowledgeable people on this board and especially Paul Muth(P-J)...There will be a pictoral to come...
