im doing a SMS Controlled Multi-Socket and i recently bought some wires to connect the LIVE contacts of the multi-socket to the relays on my PCB.
I haven't tested it out yet but id like to know whether what im about to do would be safe and feasible.
The only specs that the electronics shop could give me was that the cable had a rating of 600V.. So im assuming that the cable is good enough to withstand a voltage of 240V from the mains..? There was no current rating available..
Secondly, how should I attach this wires to my PCB? through a screw in socket or directly soldered to the PCB?
As for the connection to the LIVE contacts on the multi-socket, would soldering suffice?
Also, I would like to test my relay to see whether it is working so that when I input a voltage into the relay from my Circuit Board, the armature closes and lets the 240V pass through it...Other than connecting an appliance to the multi-socket to test whether the circuit works, is there any other "safer" way to validate that the 240V AC loop is closed?
Thanks
