I used to grok these techincal nuances, but brain damage took a lot of that away. Owing to a limited working-memory span I have to deal with smaller datasets, preferably those immediately pertinent to what's at hand, so in designing my brew-rig I chose to make discrete controllers for each unit: Inkbird ITC-106VH for the HLT, Auber DSPR 320 for the RIMS, and the simple Auber DSPR1 for the BK. I'd like to use a simple breaker for a couple of these, but for some reason a feeling of unease is rising out of my Dead Zone as if there is a compelling reason to chose a contactor instead. With parts of my brain reduced to 'beginner' status, I'm hoping someone can reassure me it's ok to use a breaker, or provide reasons to go with a contactor as most folk on here do.
