Can anyone tell me if it is a single phase DOL motor to connect with a remote stop/start station.

Cheers Davey

yep, single phase with remote start/stop. although to be honest its on a desk

there isnt a motor either, they just want you to wire the control cct. so basically its a 24V coil on a contactor, 2 push buttons and an overload.

hope this helps?

A 24V coil? Where is this feed from?

i'm sponsored but to be honest its a state of desperation out here people are switching jobs due to pay rises all the time and there's work just about everywhere. bit like uk in the 80s.
if youre a general sparks and youre heading to qld might be worth chatting to steveo. he's down on the gold coast and an elec contractor. he could give you a better picture for elec mechs. to earn real money you'll need a full ticket and that seems to be a bit of a mission.
ive only just arrived to be fair, but its very very nice. should have done it years ago is what i'm thinking

Thanks for the good news. Best of luck over there wish I`d done it sooner too!

Stev'O posted some schematic drawings regarding stop starts on here so have a look at them they are excellent & just what you may need.
