Thanks. I’m good with the switch.
Now the question is how do I go from the compressor simply being plugged in 12 feet from the floor and being controlled with the breaker to getting the the control in the switch at floor level. I know there are two hots going to the plug. What’s the best way to incorporate the switch? Do I ditch the plug and use the box as some type of junction box or do I use the switch to control the plug?
If this was 120V I could do it by running the neutral down to the switch then back up to the plug. But I’m thinking 240V is not that simple.
BTW I built and wired the entire garage (200A) and it passed a temporary inspection. That was several years ago and I’m trying to go back and finish up some things.
