Fuses/ circuit breakers/ emergency cutoffs

I need an emergency cutoff and a circuit braker/ fuse.

Maybe this would do the job for both?

or a more obvious one for just the emergency cutoff

I had not thought of a mechanical remote for the circuit breaker

The best/safest way is to use a circuit breaker (e.g shameless advertisement http://zeva.com.au/store.php?product=39), and rig up a pushrod/cable allowing you to trip the lever manually by remote. The advantage here is that you also get the safety of a circuit breaker on your power line!



I have been thinking about using a cable to the circuit breaker - looks like that has already been done which is good
