candy cab power switch mod/move questions.

So...I am hooking up a power switch on a cab and need to clear up one thing...




On a bartop I have the black wire from the wall goes to the fuse and then goes to the switch....and the white and green go straight to the psu....



is this how I should wire a candy cab?

I am talking about the one with the silver cp and the switch behind the door...


has anyone worked with this?


what I am trying to do is put a power switch on the control panel....



there's a black wire coming out of the fuse and going to the switch...


can I take that wire and put it to an on/off switch on the cp and then just send that wire back down to the on off switch...then leave the switch in the cab on all the time and use the switch on the cp for on off?

the switch on the inside of the cab has 4 wires going into it. So, is it ok to leave the others running? I haven't traced each wire to see where it goes yet.

I just figured that taking the wire coming from the fuse and sending it to another switch would be basically the same thing as the wire from the bartop going to the switch while the others stay connected...

has anyone done this mod?



any help would be appreciated!

thanks

Ideally a 2 way 2 pole switch would be better for that application, so both live/active and neutral are switched (for the sake of safety)

The wiring you suggest would work OK, but say for instance the mains plug is reversed the switch would turn the cab on and off by switching the neutral line, but in the off position the live/active connection would still be present at the psu primary (or isolation transformer)

Its no big deal really, just convention.

sorry- double post

Thanks! I guess I will have to work a little harder on getting that switch out so I can get a better look at what is for what. I say this because the poles are not right next to eachother like a regular dpst switch...it's more like this:



OO
O--O


with the pin that is getting the line from the fuse being the "O" that is the farthest out to the right.


If you stuck you head through the front of the cab and looked at the back of the switch, the poles would look just like that. It's just different shaped then normal.

I hope it says right on it what is "in" and what is "out"...



One thing I do need cleared up too is:


Is the wire going between the switch and the fuse sending power from the fuse to the switch (what I think) or to the fuse from the switch?

it will help me see which poles are
"in" and which are "out".



THANKS!!
