Switched Power Cord for 120VAC motor?
Switched Power Cord for 120VAC motor?
(OP)
We have a fan we're building that uses a 3/4HP 120V motor. I'm trying to source a grounding power cord that I can use with an inline switch, but haven't had much luck. I'm wondering if my lack of success is due to something in the NEC that may advise against it.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance guys,

You may have to go to a toggle switch in an "FS" box with cable glands in the threaded hubs.

Build your own. Get a good cast box with threaded hubs top and bottom, some good "CGB" style cord grips and a HP rated toggle switch with an cast cover to protect it. Any decent electrical distributor can hook you up.
