Hi, I am trying to turn on and off an induction motor(220VAC, 90W, 1.0A, 1550RPM/60Hz) by using a breaker and a magnet switch, and two switchs.
This is the circuit I came up with.
I tried this circuit. When I push ON switch, the magnet switch is engaged and when I push OFF switch, the magnet is disengaged. But, the problem is , the motor is not moving at all.
I checked the output(where the motor should be connected) voltage of the magnet switch and my tester shows 216VAC. If I connect the motor directly to the 220VAC main, the motor works perfectly.
But, when it is connected to magnet switch, it doesn't work.
Could you please advise me what is wrong?
If you can give the make and model of the magnet switch we might be able to find a data sheet showing the proper wiring.

Hi, I am sorry for my lack of explanation on the specification of my magnet switch.
I will try to find the information from the internet.
Meanwhile, could you refer to those pictures?
