I am looking for a thread that had a bunch of wiring diagrams for PID's
auderins I found it like a week...week and half ago but can no longer find
it. It had diagrams for everything from mulitiple elements on 240 to single
120v elements with switches and with out. It was a great wealth of info. No
matter how hard I look I can't find it again.

I'm looking for a diagram to run two elements from one PID. Both elements
are 120v 2000w.


Thanks everyone

Whatcha' running there mr.big?

PIDs are proportional controls. Great for a brewery system. Not so appropriate for a still. You want to control heat input, not temperature.

How are you planning to use the PIDs?

PID with water heater elements would be great for mashing grains - that's about it as far as stillin' is concerned.

Mashing grains...and sous vide on the side

Pids work great. Just have to set them up correctly. Run the pid in manual mode, and you're just fine. Wire the pid according to it's instructions. I always used Watlow PIDs. I know there are a ton of posts on it from way back. Keep looking, I'm sure there still here.
