Build Log - Herbert

[Neale]

That's a great deal of information and something I am going to have to digest.
I am not an electrical engineer at all, my background is mechanical engineering.
But with an enquiring mind and some help from people on here I hope to be able to build a decent control panel.
My biggest concern it that if wired wrong then it could "KILL" me or at the very least cause some damage.
I can follow wiring diagrams etc and work through things (Other hobby is OO gauge model railway).
So I was hoping that someone maybe would be able to help out with a schematic or something to point in the right direction, so I do not make the good lady a widow!

I've been thinking about that, and I'm not sure how to help further (apart from sitting together over a glass of something invigorating with the back of a big envelope and a pencil). The trouble is that everyone uses a slightly different set of components. For example, you are using a UC300, I'm using a CSMIO-IP/M. Functionally very similar but not quite the same, and with different wiring connections. My safety relay will be very similar to but again different from (and maybe in critical areas) yours. Maybe just posting a diagram of what you propose to do and let people comment, as you are doing, is the best way forwards. If it helps, the take-away points from my earlier post are that you might not need lots of MCBs, just one correctly rated (and with appropriate cabinet wiring), and that the safety relay might do the job of several single relays as it has multiple contact sets and that could simplify things.
