Hi All, Stupid question alert.
I've got hold of a load of bits for my control box,
Pictured Here
(Yes I know the stepper drives are missing)
I'm told the various bits need 14awg, and 22AWG wires.
Now the question comes ,do I need single core, or multistrand , shielded or unsheilded, CY? SY? WTF! the more I look at the "Oh so many types of Wire", the more I'm baffled.
I mean, Its wire, how hard can it be....
For the AC Power side of it, I'm planning on using Boggo Standard Electrical flex and Kettle lead (IEC connector?) to bring the electrickery Into the box and to the powersupply,
so I'm pretty much sorted there I think.
Can anyone shed any light on what a contactor is , and do I need one?, as I believe it goes somewhere on this bit of the Control box circuit?
If anyone has any tips or can shed any light on whats required, I'll be dead chuffed.
In the mean time, I'm going grabbing some Ice for my ankle after my latest session with my PhysioTerrorist.
Cheers
Rick.
