Motor controls, DOL starters etc

So that's due to the smaller amount of demand, whereas something drawing more load,the smaller control circuit will have its own protection yes?

It isn't likely to pose a fault issue due to the nature of the wiring and should the coil fail it is such fine wiring it will likely just rupture like a fuse, that is my personal theory by the way?

So your saying use the control circuit wiring as fuse wire!! ?

I was referring to the fine wire of the hold in coil?

??? Suppose that makes more sense!!!

Learn about connecting a 3 phase starter controlling a single phase motor
and make sure it's a 230v coil.
You could acquire and connect, for the sake of it, but overloads would be pointless with such a motor. O/L push button to test, I suppose......but live working, remember.

I've got a DOL on my rig, next to it is a 3 way 1G switch that will make/break the main live to the motor (1), the neutral (3) or thr hold contact (1-A1).

I get tothe wife to choose a setting and cover the switch, I then troubleshoot it and confirm that I have got the right fault.

'Retaining contact' you mean.

3 way! You play eeny, meeny, then? ? ?

Could you take some pictures of how you've wired that please?

Proper trade talk, mate. Keep learning.
