Not as good as Iggy, buy I still feel fortunate.

great deal!

I asked this group some 2 years ago on whether I can substitute a single
phase starter for a 3 phase (3 horse power) pedestal grinder. My
thinking
was that in case of power outage at least two of the three power leads
would
be disconnected, leaving me safe. You all said that I am NUTS!!

Well I've waited and finally scored.

what is the control voltage?

Iggy, as always, thanks for your interest.
Model no. of the control is 609-AAW3. At 208-240 volts, 3 phase, it is
rated for 3 horsepower.
Here is a link to the model.

Of course mine comes in a metal mounting box with appropriate lock-outs.
Iggy, there's all sorts of literature about 'heaters'. I have no idea
about what they speak. I assume that I am getting an on-off switch that
is magnetic (holds on as long as power is applied) and trips in case of
power failure. If that is not what I purchased .... oh well, it was only
$ 5.

Thanks Gunner and DoN. Nichols for the lesson! Good explanation.

Did DoN and I actually agree on something?
