I didn't ask you whether I should or not, my question surrounded the size
that would be necessary. BTW - there are many 15 amp products that don't
use magnetic switches. While I'm hoping I don't have any more issues, I'm
gathering info in case I encounter a 2nd failure. As to finding a "good
one" - fine, but I'm not sure they are all they are cracked up to be. What
does it give me? - the ability to not come back on in the event of a power
failure. A last note - I'm sorry we Americans scare you, but next time you
look up at the moon, picture the stars and stripes that are on the surface -
alone. Not bad for country slightly over 200 years old.

When (if) that happens again, I'd like to swap it out for a

You Americans scare me...

If your magnetic switch (whatever sort) failed, then get a decent one.
It's no reason to discard _all_ magnetic switches, along with their
no-volt benefits and the ability to easily add remote e-stop buttons.
