TOGGLE SWITCH WIRING
Aug 8th, 2017, 8:43am
 
I have an on-off-on toggle switch with six terminals that I need to operate two small motors. In one position I need one motor 'on' in the middle position both 'off' and in the last position bothj motors 'on' it has a 240v mains supply. How do I wire the switch?

See diagram. The switch must be a DPDT Centre Off switch.

You might also want to include some sort of isolation switch in series as well.
