What size contractor

[Ryan Scott]

Well lads iv been asked recently to do a job that the customer wants all the sockets in the garage isolated as he leaves in the evening preferably using an isolator switch. There are 4 socket circuits.Can anyone recommend what size (and brand) contactor and isolator switch cheers

Is this a commercial garage.? Use 4x 2pole din rail mount contactor and wire a switch wire to door for the coil contacts on contactors.

Yes a commercial garage. Perfect thanks what rating contactor would you advise? And any brand in particular are the best?

Size it to the size of the load! So if it's a 32a rfc convert that in to kW if you don't know the likely FLC

I would always opt above the maximum rating to 40A.
