[QUOTE="roys, post: 78541, member: 5044"] Hi P As you have wired it the contactor would be on all the time as you have your Live going straight to A1. A1 & A2 are your coil connections. Not sure what type of switch you mean, if you say you have to push for on and then push again for off then it is operating as a normal light switch, if it is push for on, release for off then we have to go down the retainer contact route with a seperate contact. Are you given 2 switches for your exercise, a normally open switch and a normally closed switch? Need info on switches as it will decide how the circuit will look. Sorry for some reason I can not see the drawing that sellers has posted, either me or the computer being dum. I also don't have a scanner or I would do a drawing for you. If I get time later I will try and draw it using computer. Cheers Steve [/QUOTE]
