Starting Switch
Hi all, for the start, I was thinking of using 2 switches for the main circuit. One would be a toggle switch, and the other would be a momentary. I would have them in series like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4WYI3 ... sp=sharing. I would turn on the toggle while holding down the normally on momentary switch. When I release the pencil, the circuit would close and it would go. Would this be allowed? Any other comments too.

Re: Starting Switch
get the idea for the main shut off switch for safety purposes...
but instead of the momentary switch, a simple push button on-off button would serve you better without any acrobatics of having to hold a pencil in place?

Re: Starting Switch
Thanks for answering. The main reason why I wanted to use a momentary switch was so I don't bump my vehicle while trying to press down and have a normal push switch lock. I think there are less variables if all I have to do is release the momentary.kinghong1970 wrote:get the idea for the main shut off switch for safety purposes...
