BrewZilla 100L Single Phase to Three Phase Conversion
Product Information
The BrewZilla 100L is a brewing system with a power consumption of 6600 watts. It features three concealed heating elements, each with a power rating of approximately 2200 watts. The brewing system can be powered by a 32-amp single-phase plug when connected to a 220-240V AC power source. It also supports three-phase installation for properties with three-phase power available.
Product Usage Instructions
-
Before starting any installation or conversion, ensure that the
brewery is unplugged from power and turned off. -
To convert the BrewZilla 100L to three-phase power:
- Step 1: Turn the brewery upside down and remove the cover from the electrical enclosure on the underside.
- Step 2: Locate the three terminals labeled H1, H2, and H3 on the board. Remove the jumper cables that bridge these terminals together.
- Step 3: Remove the existing single-phase cable and install a new three-phase cable. Secure the cable through the cable gland.
- Step 4: Connect a ring terminal to the earth and secure it to the body of the BrewZilla. For the three active phases and neutral, put fork terminals on the respective cables.
- Step 5 : Connect the cables as follows: Live 1 to H1, Live 2 to H2, Live 3 to H3, and Neutral to N3.
- Step 6: Replace the lid for the electrical enclosure. Use a multimeter to check continuity between the body of the BrewZilla and the Earth on the plug. The resistance should be close to 0 Ohms.
-
Note: The installation of the three-phase cable and any electrical modifications should only be performed by a qualified electrician.
INSTRUCTION
BrewZilla 100L Power Consumption
- The BrewZilla 100L has three heating elements that are concealed and integrated into the base of the brewery. These three elements are approximately 2200watts each meaning the total heating capacity of the brewery is 6600watts.
- So if you are using 220-240AC power source the brewery can be powered by 1 x 32amp single phase plug that looks like one of these below:
The plug on the left is the standard type that comes included with the brewery out of the box. This single phase plug is also commonly used for electric ovens or electric hob cooktops that you often see in your kitchen. Generally speaking the wiring for this type of plug will be 6mm2 copper cable but we recommend you seek separate advice from your electrician to install suitable cable.
Three Phase Installation
If your property has three phase power available you may find it favourable to
run the brewery on three phases so you are not putting excessive load onto a
single phase at your property and split the load over all three phases evenly.
In order to do this conversion follow the instructions below:
STEP 1
Unplug the brewery from power, turn the brewery upside down and remove the
cover from the electrical enclosure on the underside:
STEP 2
You will see three terminals on the board labelled H1, H2 and H3
These three terminals are connected to the three active sides of the three
heating elements.
Remove the jumper cables that bridge H1, H2 and H3 together.’
STEP 3
Remove the single phase cable and install the new three phase cable making
sure to secure the cable through the cable gland as shown below.
In most instances you will need to use a 2.5mm2 three phase cable but check
the cable requirements with your electrician.
STEP 4
As shown in ‘A’ below connect a ring terminal to the earth and secure this to
the body of the BrewZilla.
For the three active phases and neutral put fork terminals on these cables as
shown in ‘B’ below.
STEP 5
In Australia the cable colours are:
- RED – Active (Live 1)
- WHITE – Active (Live 2)
- BLUE – Active (Live 3)
- BLACK – Neutral
NOTE : Please be aware that different countries use different colours for active and neutral so if you check with your local regulations as to which colours are active and neutral.
Connect the cables as shown below:
- Live 1 to H1
- Live 2 to H2
- Live 3 to H3
- Neutral to N3
STEP 6
Replace the lid for the electrical enclosure. Use a multimeter to check
continuity between the body of the BrewZilla and the Earth on the plug. The
resistance should be close to 0 Ohms.
