Power Controller

Unlike unreliable "dimmer switch" controllers with non-linear outputs, the Blichmann Power Controller makes maintaining the perfect boil intensity and heating rate easier and comes in 120V or 240V models. Our tried-and-true Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) method controls the percentage of time heaters are energized over short one-second intervals, making the boiling process gentler on your heater, and eliminating electrical noise. 

Other key features include:

• Precise linear control of power from 0-100% with a fast-acting power knob.
• Drive up to five heating elements simultaneously with a single Power Controller, using the optional Relay Modules.  Please note this is only available for the 240V model.
• Industrial-grade PWM control methodology is reliable, gentle on equipment, and very linear.
• Ideal for boil kettle and BIAB applications where temperature control is not needed but precise power control is.
• Dials in an exact and repeatable boil-off rate to hit the final boil volume for every batch.
• Perfect match for the Blichmann BoilCoil™ electric heater,  BoilerMaker Surface™, and other manufacturers' immersion heaters.
• The integral DIN rail groove in the back allows the connection of multiple controllers and relay modules for table or wall mounting.
• Unique enclosure route cables out of the back for table mounting or out of the bottom for wall mounting.
• An integral heat sink keeps the industrial-grade, UL-listed solid-state relay (SSR) cool, extending the controller's life.
• Power Connections:  L6-30 (30A 240V) and L5-20 (20A 120V)
• Optional 120V and 240V extension cables and plug adapters are available.
• Assembled in the USA using both domestically sourced and imported parts.

NOTE: This product does not read or control temperature.
