Emergency stop buttons on workshop ring main.{/b}
Please forgive terminology. This is a DIY question.
Domestic Workshop in new (new to us - small charity) premises that has its own RCD consumer unit with a ring main circuit and a lighting circuit. Has a few single-phase bench tools, saws, pillar drill etc. It's an odd one, it really is domestic.
It was suggested it might be an idea to have a couple of emergency stop buttons.
Then comes the interesting bit. How dodgy is the suggestion that these could be wired using the NO connections in the switch, to short the ring main to earth? A spark has apparently suggested this (Please don't shoot the messenger
) but I need reassurance.
