Hi All,
I will sound like a simpleton asking this, but there we are!!
You know an "ordinary" motor starter, the sort of thing in a tin box with red and green buttons and a "built in" no volt release.
Is it possible to mount a separate contactor in series with this [as the starter will then retain its NVR and overcurrent functions] to enable remote mounted buttons to be used, and also to incorporate, as well as an "on", and obviously an "off", a "jog" function too??
I ask this because i have an Elliott shaper that i fitted with a single phase motor years ago, only now i want to re-fit it with a three phase one, only i threw away all the original switchgear.........
The motor is a 3HP [say 2.5KW] three phase one. Can anyone recommend a suitable contactor and other bits to achieve what i am trying to do!! [Part numbers from the RS catalogue would be great!!]
Thanks all!!
