I am installing a new 2HP, 220 volt 1ph dust collector. I want to place relays at each blast gate so that the collector will start when a blast gate is opened. I will use 275-017 24VAC relays from Radio Shack at each blast gate wired to a 24VAC doorbell transformer. I will also need to wire a 24 VAC contactor into the power cord of the collector but would like advice as to which one to use. I would appreciate it if anyone would let me know a manufacturer's name and part number of a contactor that would suit this application.s

I would recommend the FASCO H230A contactor (24 Volt coil and 30 Amp 240 VAC capacity) available from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Fasco-H230A-30A-24-volt-Control/dp/B00A8O0EQS/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400759853&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=FASCO+H230+relay). Cheap in price, but very reliable.
