IEC wiring

[AdrianMB]

Hi all.
I have an enclosure with an IEC connector currently wired to a small mains power supply. However, i need to wire in 2 more mains PSU's. I was going to use a distribution/choc box where each of the terminals are linked with wire.
The question is, does the attached diagram look ok for all 3?

Seems OK, as long as you bear in mind that your diagram shows no fuse after the IEC C14 inlet, and IEC C15 leads can be rated (and fused) at anywhere up to 10A. You need to either include a fuse somewhere in the enclosure, or ensure all the wiring is rated to take 10A. As this sounds to be more of a manufactured appliance rather than a fixed installation, you may also want to ensure suitable overcurrent protective devices are in place to protect the PSUs themselves.

Thank you Matthew,
Sorry, the simple diagram doesn't show it, but the IEC is fused. Also, all the power supplies are fused.
Many thanks
