Master Cut Off and Transformer Main Power Question...

Hp289OGR Forum Member

So, I'm at the stage where I am planning my electrical... 2 questions please...

1. My layout is "basically" a fancy 17x12 loop that I will control from in the middle. Do most folks with this size layout bother to wire in a Master Emergency All Stop button at the far outside of the layout? So if I'm not right next to the big ZW-L that powers it all, and something goes wrong, ie: serious short/crash, etc., I can slap that big red button to freeze everything. Basically a cut off from the wall to the transformer? Or, in line from transformer to layout? Please show me what you did! I don't even know if I should be concerned. Pics please!

2. When you shut down, do most of you just turn off the transformer button before you leave the room? Or is there another fire safety type protocol I should wire in like a master on/off for all power to the transformer. I was thinking the switch on the surge protector the transformer is plugged to? Is this enough?

Thanks.
