text: <s>[INST] Motor Starter and Timer Summary: Looking for help wiring a motor starterHey guys, I am looking for some help wiring a motor starter with a timing relay in the control circuit. I attached a sketch of what I think will achieve my purpose: using a start button to turn on a motor for 10 seconds, and then turning off automatically, with a stop button as a failsafe. My questions are more on the wiring end. If I am pulling 34 F.L. amps through the contactor, I should use heavier gauge wire. I am assuming I can use smaller wire for the controls circuit, but how much smaller? What type of current will the control circuit see? What are the standards for wire colors (as well as colors of hot wires at full voltage vs. hot wires that aren't)? I appreciate any help. Thanks, Zach [/INST] You're using line voltage for your control circuit? Which diagram should we be looking at? The top one showing a 3-phase motor, or the bottom one showing a 1-phase motor? What IS your line voltage? \\n </s>
