I am planning to use this motor on band saw. What wall mounting switch should I use with this motor?
A: Any wall mounted switch acting directly would need to be able to not only handle the full rated current of the motor, but also the momentary current (3x rated load current) spike upon contact. Alternatively, and by far the most commonly used method, is to operate the coil on an appropriately rated motor contactor/relay by a wall switch rated to handle the coil holding current.
