Hi,
So acquired a half built panel when I bought a Brewery (was intending to build one anyway, but this saved me some work)
Am I correct in thinking that is I don't have the Amp and Voltage meters I the Shunt is not required. I mean it looks real cool but think's its over kill for me in my garage.
It came with the SSR already in place but no contacter. So trying to acquire some to be totally safe, these came up in my RS search but want to be sure.....

Hey,
Well I live in the UK so that is the correct panel. I can understand what you mean about that contact. Last thing you need is a lose live contact inside that lot.
How much is shipping for 3 contractors to the UK. That might actually be the cheapest option

I have noticed that DIN rail components are cheaper than Standalone in the UK.
I assume if I can find the similar thing on a DIN rail that would also be fine.

We offer multiple shipping methods. Add the items to your cart, then visit your cart and enter your country / postal code for a list of shipping options.

Yes, DIN works. DIN vs bolt mount is simply how a part attaches. Doesn't change the functionality and has nothing to do with quality (you can buy good quality bolt mount and DIN mount components, you can buy junky ones for both as well). Though good quality parts are not usually cheaper in my experience and also require a piece of DIN rail, stoppers, and (usually) special tools to attach wire ferrule using crimpers. We do sell DIN rail components, including contactors. See here for complete details: https://shop.theelectricbrewery.com/collections/din-rail-components

It may appear to have the same specifications but that only tells part of the story. You know nothing about the quality. Like comparing two cars and assuming they are the same quality because both have 4 wheels, 4 doors, and a steering wheel. 
Not saying you shouldn't buy whatever you like, I'm simply stating that quality will vary. I find that if price is the driving factor then you usually end up with the cheapest quality items that do not last (true for everything in life, not just electrical parts).
| Quote: | I assume it doesn't require any changes to the wiring.... If I am putting in a din rail maybe through in a 32 AMP circuit breaker.
So have live feed -> Breaker -> Contacter
It would appeal to my over zealous sense of saftey. |
DIN rail is simply how parts are mounted. Wiring stays the same.
Keep in mind that while wiring for DIN rail components is the same, layout is usually different given how DIN rail are lined up on a rail and how power distribution is done is often different. As I mentioned above, special tools are usually required as well as ferrules.
Cheers,
Kal
