[Joltter]

hi everybody looking for some help, i have a switch that I would like to use on a Meddings 3 phase drill.
I would like to know if the switch is capable of handling 3 phase and if so how to wire it because I dont have a clue . I have included some photos.

The range of contactors and overloads toolstation stock are quite good value.
Then you can hide it around the back and use your buttons to remote operate as above.

Hi I hope someone will have a answer to my latest problem. I have a vintage contactor switch I would like to fit to drive a 3 phase motor I am using a small omron inverter for the power feed but cant work out how to wire it.

 

[MattH]

In general it's not OK to fit a contactor between an inverter and the motor.

 

[Robotstar5]

You don't really need the contactor, the inverter can be wired directly to the motor and controlled via it's inputs.

Thanks to MattH. & Robotstar5 I will follow your advice , that is how I have it now but thought I would need a switch.
