3 wire control for air compressor
3 wire control for air compressor
(OP)
Hi, I am new to the forum and looking for some help with an air compressor control problem. I am trying to design a 3 wire stop start control station that will work with a single phase 240v starter.The problem lies with trying to maintain the coil circuit on the starter. I am using 3 wire start stop control to engage and seal the circuit which also runs through the pressure switch. Everytime the pressure switch opens, I loose the seal for the circuit and have to push the start button to start the compressor again. I can solve this by replacing the start stop with a simple toggle switch. Is it possible to use the 3 wire control without having to restart every time the pressure switch opens?
Thanks,
Chris

You will be able to start the compressor when you are working in the shop and it will cycle on the pressure switch. When you are through in the shop you can stop the compressor. I hope that will maintain the sentimental attachment.
