I want to use this in conjuntion with a foot oprerated "Deadman" switch on a Screw type log splitter. I'm running a 5 HP, 20 A motor. Any problems?

your dead man switch has to be good for 120v right? You run heavy leads to the contactor, a light lead with 120 source to the coil, and from the other side of the coil to the dead man switch which connects back to neutral right? As for the contactor itself, I think it is heavy enough to work ok. If not only 10 bucks gone & get a heavier motor starter.

Should not be a problem. It is a simple contactor which will shut the motor down immediately.Amperage is more than sufficiient.

I don't see a problem with your application. The contacts are rated at 30 Amps.

Not for sure the amp capacity of the switch or your compressor, otherwise it will work

The conventional wisdom is three times the rated amperage, or in this case 45 amps. That's only momentary, but the motor starts each time you split a log and returns passively unpowered.

I used the motor to replace a 10HP motor on my wood splitter and it works great!

Not to date but I would assume it would be OK. Unit runs at a very constant speed as measured by the output voltage. Sorry I can't answer from actual experience.

The switch in question will cut the power but whether you can mount it on this planer I do not know.

As long as the motor is wired for 120 volt, it will work just fine. There are jumpers that need to be set in the Motor for 120 or 220 volt operation.Make sure to ask somebody who knows how to do it. My saw was already wired for 120 volt.

I used the connector to power my boat downriggers which I placed a 10 gauge wire for the connectors with no problems. Just set the set-screws in tight on the wire. Using the setup for ~4 months now with no issues on the connections. Hope this helps

First, I would say this is one of the better 12v extensions I've found, so if one is going to work its most likely. Line drop is so much though I would tend to think the effectiveness of the compressor will be adversely affected. If your compressor already has a short cord then 'best guess' is yes. If its got a long cord, then the likelihood drops. DJH

Absolutely! The foot control is just a switch, you plug it into the outlet then plug your saw into the switch ( or anything you'd like to control up to 15 amps ).

I have not but that would depend on the amperage demand of the compressor. By that I mean the start up draw of the electric motor and then the running draw. If you can find out what those will be then you'll know if this will work.

No this would not work for even the smallest of electric trolling motors. Not enough stored energy.

Switch has an 1800 watt maximum load recommendation. Should work as long as you do not exceed that.

This switch should be fine on your truck as long as the circuit your planning on using it on doesn't draw more than 20 amps, hopefully drawing a little less so the switch isn't operating at it's limit continuously.

As this operates as an on off switch, the only limitation would be the length of wiring you use. The length /distance should not affect performance of this switch.

I have the 3 hp motor. It runs on 220 volts and utilizes a 30amp plug. My electrician installed 20 amp breakers and I have had no problems.Unfortunately, there is nothing in the manual that covers this.

It should work well. It is controlling the switch for two locations for our compressor.
