Above is the link to a circuit I'm trying to simulate to create a master switch which overrides four other switches each controlling their own circuit. The goal is for the master switch to provide power to all four switches at once so they can be operated simultaneously. I used ammeters in place of a load just to see when I have power in the circuits. The four switches on the right work as expected. They operate their relays and send power to the appropriate meter. The goal of the master switch circuit on the left is to operate a separate relay for each of the other four circuits, which sends power straight to the relay coils to bypass each circuit's switch. I can't wrap my head around what I'm missing here, but the master switch just doesn't seem to do anything for me. Not sure if the coils in the master relays are not getting power, if I have wires back-feeding or shorting out... I'm lost. Can anyone give me some suggestions?
