Dont forget to put a sign on it....£50 for inproper use....!!!

Allan, please explain why I would ask such a damn fool question...It would more likely be;

"Why would you fit a pump with a BS1363 Plug and then attempt to fit it with an E-Stop"

Now that is an answer i would like

I thought the OP wanted to connect it across two phases !

Darn it, misread it, must go back to specsavers, I thought the electrician he called wanted to connect the OP across 2 phases and connect an E-Stop to him via a 13A plug!!

If the OP wants a definitive Estop then he should just grab hold of the cable and give it a yank. That should guarantee a permanent stop.

If in Doubt pull it Out ! - Although it sounds as though the OP is attempting to pull something else

just cut the cable. a separate action of applying choc block and tape is required to restart the motor, so it's safe. cable cutters shown below, take your pick:

As the pump is on a 3 pin plug it suggests it is single phase (although it could be 3p with no earth!) but the isolator you have pictured is clearly for three phase.

No, these are only used on chopper circuits !

Ehem Tel, you should not be advocating the use of specialist equipment unless you are sure the end user has been trained in their safe and proper use, completed full site specific RAMS and further, has all the appropriate PPE for their use...

Are you really serious, either your taking the **** or the Guy was not a qualified spark from even the most backward nation. If it is running on a standard plug how the **** would it be dual phase, you only have a LIVE and a NEUTRAL as it is SINGLE PHASE...either that or you have rewritten the laws of physics!!

The last post was nearly 3 months ago mate (5th May). I hope he has sorted it by now.

Probably dead, bled to death using an ax as an E-stop!

Have to agree with darkwood here,

Unless you know the system you cant really say just wire it in the line conductor.

It goes past e-stops and into controls and regs.
For instance just imagine the plug has been wired to a motor used for a blending purpose that has been run from a plug top.
Some guy is using this thing and the power goes off for some reason.
If there is no contactor etc then its going to start up again soon as its energised.
This is obviously dangerous and against regs.

Same applies to the e-stop.

It should not be possible to re-energize the circuit by just releasing a normal e-stop.

Edit: sorry just realised this has moved on a bit since page 1
Stupid new iphone app didnt show me the whole thread lol

What’s the film? An adaptation of War and Peace?

Pride and Prejudice lol.

 

[ackbarthestar]

Pride and Prejudice lol.

I shouldn't think so, more like 'Fatal Attraction' - we haven't heard much from the OP lately - lol
