Or a thermostatic switch for overrunning or fan air flow/ cooling restriction?
My brother has the multimeter, I'll have him bring it over.

Its not belt and braces, you need to find which wire of the pair is carrying the motor current, as you need that one connected, while the other 'sence' wire will be disconnected.Jimmy Mack wrote:Thank you Bob for taking the time to write this up, I'll try this soon.
Is the second test to record the current draw... Essentially belt and braces, confirmation?

I'll have a look into the switch next week, before I isolate the thermal sensor.
My plan is to connect a 240v remote to a 3 pole contractor with a 240v coil.... Doesnt look like Toolstation can help this time, though I might use the old/ new Toolstation DOL box* to house a contactor I've seen in Screwfix... Along with a thermal relay.
How do I calculate the required cut out Ampage... It must be somewhere around 5.5 - 6A?
