What is the best way to wire a Baldick switch for AC? Is it live through the relay and ground/neutral direct to the AC Power? If all relays are being used for AC, can the live be daisy chained between the 4 ports?

Live should always be the conductor being switched, neutral should never be switched unless you are using a double pole switch/relay to do both live AND neutral at the same time. Both the Neutral and earth wires bypass the relays and go straight to wherever you are connecting to. IF you do not understand this, DO NOT attempt to wire this up by yourself, get a qualified professional to assist you

Thanks for that, I thought as much but wanted to double check
