Today I acquired...........

I haven't got any trunking, but it does sound like a useful thing to have.

What didn't help the build I've been doing today was trying to make it compact (so I can take it away with me to Lyme Regis & play with the controller). If I didn't have some sort of terminals (I used the wago ones) it would have been an absolute nightmare.

I'll post some photos of the monstrosity I've been making at some point...

Trunking hides a multitude of wiring sins!

Here's an old retrofit I did.

Nice beer, is that. My tipple of choice.

A newfound respect for people who build control cabinets and manage to do the wiring neatly. I'm just building a little test frame so I can play with a fancy PID controller and even that has felt like a massive challenge not to end up in a complete mess.

Handy tip - make a copy of the wiring diagram and as you connect each wire mark it on the drawing with a highlighter pen, that way you don't miss any

....Ps If you don’t have any trunking is a must - it makes running wires neat and hides a multitude of sins. Also the din rail terminals are good for distributing power around the panel.

@Dr.Al You can also get round slotted trunking which can save space.

I used it on the door of this panel
