I work for a Haunted House that has a bit of a problem, during the fire inspection the Fire Marshal decided that the emergency stop for the house needed to be more accessible. To accomplish this I took the EStop switch and extended the wires and placed it in a box where we could get to it. The Fire Marshal was ok with this but to make it work I had to remove the original switch, when I added another one it just would not work. What I would like to do is add another switch (you can never have to many!)
I am very comfortable with power and electrical but its a rat's nest in the box and I don't have the time till after the season to de-power the system to sort it out. I have looked around on the internet trying to find a common diagram (or at least some samples) of a system that will transfer power from one set of breakers to another set when a stop button has been pressed, but I am not able to find one. Everything I have found so far has been about EStops on machines but this is an entire building I am looking for.
So can anyone point me in a direction or offer some help?
