Hi all,
I am assembling my controller (Grinch) and SSRs onto a piece of MDF and wanted to find out what are my options for the sharing of power. So my SSRs have incoming, one half of the lights connect to the SSR and the other to a neutral wire.
As I have 8 SSRs (this year, plan to double next year), I wanted to try and reduce the amount of cables needed.
Is it possible, and safe, to have some kind of common power rail such as dual brass strips which have a short cable connecting one rail to the SSR and all of the lights connect the neutral wire to the other common rail?
I have attached my controller board, I would want the common active rail between the rows of SSRs.
If he common rail is not the best method can you recommend a better alternative? My main aim is ease of maintenance, durable but also modifiable (not necessarily quick) and mainly neat.
Thanks,
Matt
