Which Starter Contactor

[Mark Whitehouse]

Hi all I have a 3 hp single phase motor that only runs when you hold the button and stops when you release it. I am struggling to get my head around which contactor to get for it. Any help would be great.

Yo

Thank you all I have found a DOL with overload to do the job

You will have to install a stop button and change the wiring in the control circuit if you want it to latch on.
Only if it is safe to wire it like that.

The OP wants it to run as it is now, hold to run (or dead mans switch)
