Hi all. I'm looking to buy a new site vault. This is the sort of thing if you're not familiar with them:
They're used to store tools, materials, drawings and anything else which may go walkies on a construction site.
I'd really like to wire it up for power.
The standard power on building sites is 110V CTE, so I am going to mount a 16A 110V CEEform inlet on the rear of the vault to provide power to the inside.
What I'd like is an inlet which I can somehow secure the extension cable into to stop the lead being unplugged or pinched when it's left unattended.
I'm thinking I'd like a couple of 110V 16A CEEform outlets on the inside and maybe one or two on the back of the vault.
I'd also like a couple of 230V 13A sockets to allow standard drill battery chargers to be plugged in, and a couple of USB sockets for charging my phone and iPad.
My initial thought was a large adaptable box mounted inside the vault with some panel mount 110V panel outlets fed directly from the inlet.
For the 230V outlets I was thinking about sitting a 1.5kVa yellow site transformer in the bottom of the vault and wiring it up in reverse. I'd supply it directly from the inlet, and then back into the adaptable box with maybe a twin socket with USB outlets on the front of the box. I guess this would require some sort of over current protection on the 230V side?
Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome.
