Dust Collector Question

[James Hardee]

I am installing a new 2HP, 220 volt 1ph dust collector. I want to place relays at each blast gate so that the collector will start when a blast gate is opened. I will use 275-017 24VAC relays from Radio Shack at each blast gate wired to a 24VAC doorbell transformer. I will also need to wire a 24 VAC contactor into the power cord of the collector but would like advice as to which one to use. I would appreciate it if anyone would let me know a manufacturer's name and part number of a contactor that would suit this application.s

I would recommend the FASCO H230A contactor (24 Volt coil and 30 Amp 240 VAC capacity) available from Amazon. Cheap in price, but very reliable.
