Electrical Wiring Help

[CA8OOS3]

Good Evening.

 

I am in need of some help. I have a situation that requires me to do a little bit of DIY in regards to some power.

 

I have a MeanWell PSU more specifically a NDR-480-48 which is used to power my MiGe Motor and controller board. This is for simracing.

 

I have a Simucube SC1 OSW Style wheelbase setup and I am trying to wire a powerswitch.

 

Currently I am wired directly to an IEC plug which has a powerswitch but since the controller box is away from my sim rig, I want to make a powerswitch with my emergency stop.

 

So, so far I have tried using just a standard 3 prong switch and we'll that has ended in disaster everything and now looking to use a 6 prong switch.

 

Here is how I currently think to have the switch wired.

 

I have 4 wires coming from the switch.[2 white, 2 yellow] 2 are going to the IEC plug [Live and Neutral] and 2 going to the [L and N] parts on the PSU. Now on a 6 prong switch does it matter where things are wired as long as the L and N are on the same sides on each?

 

I just want to make sure I get this wired correctly so I can hide away the controller box for my sim rig.

 

Thanks for any help.

How has it ended in disaster ?

 

Should just need to break active not both... ?
