Discuss two supplies to a relay in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

As has mentioned above. Label the panel accordingly and make sure the wires of the external source are orange.
 
What exactly do the remote supply cables do... you fall within the BS EN 60204-1 not the BS7671 and this only really allows certain set-ups referring to 5.3.5 of the 60204-1 for accepted circuits and the measures needed to take when applied.
 
i think the ops title should have been a little clearer
seemed to be a little confusion there
if a relay is supplying /sourcing power to two separate contactors then proper lableing and documentation is required as well as assuring the relay can handle the additional load.
as well as having a lockable disconnect between the relay and each of the contactors it supplies

if a single relay has 2 separate control supplies such as including a remote or jog start button.
then an interlock device needs to be installed to prevent both from being able to function at the same time

these are US rules I know but i am here to learn and exchange ideas

I'm just trying to understand the current your suggested relay needs to handle. Surely the above is not the running current of the lamp? That...
