So the main electrical power connection for the rope machine were mounted to a piece of sheet metal under the control panel. There wasn’t any effort made to prevent electrical shock or short circuit such as a proper electrical enclosure. So I purchased an 8″ x 8″ x 4″ electrical junction box to put the 220v breaker and relay inside of.
I modified the box and added a stand-off so the breaker switch could be flipped without taking the cover off. Since I had to disconnect the wires so I could route them into to box I decided to use properly color coded wire and run the ground wires to the .other controller. The factory just used red wire for everything and didn’t provide for a ground wire…
Here are some before and after photos.
I’ll probably paint a rectangle on the cover around the breaker with labels for on and off. This box looks a lot cleaner and I can reach down to flip the breaker on and off without worrying that I’ll be electrocuted if I accidentally touch one or more of the power connections.
