Hi all. I'm looking to build myself a rig with a small single phase motor and learn a bit more about motor controls etc. I mostly do domestic and some commercial but haven't much experience with motor controls. I always looks at ways to improve myself and my electrical knowledge. Most DOL starters would be pre wired so i take it there wouldn't be much to be gained from that. So would i be better buying NO & NC Switches, Contactor and overload and building it that way? Also looking for advice with regards to contacts 97/98 on the overload. Again, this is not a job or anything like that, this is solely for the purpose of building a rig to give me a better understanding. Any guidance and advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks
 
Could you take some pictures of how you've wired that please?

Ok mate.
Have a look at 'HSE electrical' on YouTube 'dol wiring diagram'. From what I can see, they describe pretty well for single and 3phase.
I found this one (amongst many others). What do you think of this wiring? I believe that the maker of this video is from overseas, and i know some of our electrical practices do differ.
