Hi all,
I need to mount a light switch on the side of a metal cabinet in my garage, due to space issues I need the switch to be flush mounted on the side of the cabinet so basically the cabinet will be sandwiched between the faceplate and a pattress box with a big enough hole cut in the cabinet for the faceplate to fit.
Given the cabinet is metal with 240v passing through a hole in it I think it would be prudent to earth the cabinet, would it be acceptable to fit a decent size bolt to the cabinet and then run a cable from that bolt into the pattress box attaching it to the earth inside?
Light circuit in question will be rcd protected.
Thanks
Chris
