Hi everyone. I'm working on upgrading my dust collector and have recently restored a Grizzly 4-bag 3hp unit. It's 3-phase and I got it running with a VFD to use 220v power. My garage is partitioned off into two rooms (1-car section is for mechanical stuff and storage, and the 2-car side is my shop). Since I needed to add a new 220v line, I put the unit in the storage/mechanical room and am planning to run dust collector pipes to my shop and I was hoping to be able to add a remote switch so I can control it from my shop.
Would anyone have a suggestion for a switch that can run for a 3-phase switch. My original plan was to use something like this and connect it inline before the VFD, but I don't think that will work. So I need something between the VFD and the DC unit. Any suggestions would be helpful- especially if it is on a budget. I want it to be safe, but not spend any more than I have to.

I suppose a backup plan would be to run a hard-wired switch across the ceiling and mount on the wall in my shop. But I'd rather not have to run 20 feet of wiring if I can avoid it.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
