Since you never, ever, never, want the traction wiring in the cabin with you, the breaker is located under the hood, and for the "Oh SH$@" emergency cable, I use a heavy duty PTO cable (power take off).
I don't see traction wiring in the cabin as inherently dangerous; it just needs to be packaged correctly. A breaker in the cabin needs to be in a UL listed electrical box, just like you'd do for the circuit breakers for your house wiring. They are "inside the cabin", but thoroughly protected.
Same for the wiring to this box. It needs to be in UL listed conduit, and treated just like you'd treat the service entrance wiring for your home.
