Title: Question about switched power to cab
Post by: phantompower on April 08, 2009, 01:37:29 am

I know enough to get in trouble when it comes to power, which is why I want to verify with the group here.

Does anyone have any experience with this switch?  I am wanting to cut the line on a power cord and splice cable into the back of this.

My question is this, how do I connect the power strip to the back of this switch/receptacle?

Just cut the cable, strip the wires, and connect the blue and black to the outer lips via crimp terminals, and the yellow/green (earth line) to the middle one.

These are the safest.
