3 pole contactor trouble. 230 v coil, 50hz. ADVICE PLEASE

Nice to hear you’ve got it up and running.

Just one point* are the commando plug / socket for the control non-standard for your works. The reason I ask is as sure as eggs are eggs some clown will plug something else in to it if they can.

* It’s one I got pushed in to because management wouldn’t pay for a different type of socket, I wanted to use Niphan on the control. Not 2 days after installing a similar set up to yours (it was a mixer) I got a call “this new socket you’ve installed doesn’t work! Never under estimate how stupid / ingenious production workers can be!

A very valid point, Tony.

There's always going to be a new breed of idiot emerging from the gene pool.

Well the machine/mixer is pretty bespoke in terms of its design and what it does. it was built in-house in a rather Heath Robinson style. Been around for almost 10 years now...its done well. But there is only one supply available to it, and no other accessories or fixtures that require three phase commandos for a 50ft radius. Therefore i guess on that level there is no chance of any of the peons plugging their electric toothbrush in or anything...

Hope your all well chaps
