Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Question about AC power distribution in CNC controller box

Hi G,

I can't quote from code, and your area might be different, but two line
cords (input modules) into the same box would not be wise, in my
opinion. Bolting grounded boxes together should not pose a problem, and
would actually be an elegant solution. The separate box may also keep
noise off the lines better!
