Aye, I did indeed bypass the switch and for convenience I just placed a circuit breaker inside, making it a junction box. I would never have done this were I not sure that at-least one point of isolation be required either at supply or on machine. Since the machine is not in its final resting...

also, e-stops are either side of the machine. I was under the impression that one point of isolation is required. Also, we have machines hard wired from the panels in the roof void with only an isolator on the machine itself, I just put another circuit breaker in on top of the the one the socket...

Just to clarify, the machine did have a means of isolation, it was on the machine itself. Kind Regards James
