NVR Switch Wiring Help

[PeteG]

I have the Dakato NVR Switch from Rutlands, my intentions are to have a good length of cable from the switch to the mains, and another length from the switch to a socket inside the router table housing which I can plug the router in to. It's the Triton TRB001. Rutlands have sent me an email with a better explanation of how to wire the switch up, the one supplied was quite poor. The instructions say where to put the Brown and Blue, and then it says tape the yellow/green from the router to the yellow/green of the power supply. As I'm not wiring the router directly to the switch, I take it I'm still OK wiring the yellow/green from the socket in side the router table which the router will plug in to, to the yellow/green of the power supply?

Will I also be OK using this Pond Flex cable instead of the stiff white cable?

The important thing is that the earth conductors are connected together permanently from input to output of the switch.

I'm not sure of the power rating of your router but that pond cable could be a bit under rated to a decent power machine.

As you appear to be putting a 13amp plug and socket in your router table, and therefore the socket ought to be able to supply a full 13 amps which requires 1.5mm^2 cable as a minimum irrespective of the router rating.
You might well claim that you will only ever use it with a specific router but the regs would not accept this.

However, worse sins will be committed daily in hobby workshops throughout the land!

I reckon this cable will be best suited then, thank you Myfordman I should have mentioned the switch is rated up to 2700KW, my router 2000KW.

I bet that will make the lights dim when you turn it on!

Yes a better choice of cable.

Do you really need 25 metres? Go to your local electrical shop and buy it by the metre, I reckon about a quid a metre

Quite often works out cheaper to buy an extension reel, then just cut off what you need - bonkers really.

Something like this, with some left over for another project :lol:

I found that with Screwfix as well. A Sunday morning rush, and their eye-watering prices for twin and earth cable made me look at the extension leads. A 50m reel with 4 sockets, a frame and a plug is cheaper than 50m of plain cable.

For preference go and support your local elec factor, much cheaper than the 'Fix empire.

Apologies gentlemen, I hadn't been keeping any eye on my post But I like your way of thinking this should do perfectly http://www.screwfix.com/p/masterplug-he ... -10m/44635 and I'll have the two plugs I need plus, the colour is in keeping with Kreg
