Emergency off switch for air compressor controls?
Air compressor powered by 7.5 Hp VFD.
VFD may be in a box or not, but it will be hung on the wall behind the compressor.
VFD is accessible but I have to walk a few steps around machine.
Electrical wiring in conduit, so it is not as easy as pulling a plug out of the wall to stop the motor.
Would something like a push-to-stop/pull-to-run or push-to-stop/rotate-to-run emergency switch mounted on the front of the compressor be a good safety idea?
The mushroom switch I have in mind also has a red light. So red light on when running and red light off when switch pushed.
