... always allow a little extra for safety ... 40 amp is better.No ,there are no ratings on the pish buttons,
Last option i had that to use a 30 amp 250 volt relay

This site may help.... a circuit diagram or sketch would make things clear.
Thats a new one on me!!... only single phase motors have the start up transient current. Three phase powered motors don't have this problem.
Stop/Start P.B.s carry a trivial load when used to pick up a relay or contactor.I
But all i want to say that i want replace only the start stop switch with two relay my relay coils will be driven by a circuit that i made,i want to connect the push buttons in the "no" pin off the relay so i want to know that what are the volt and amp ratings in the push button pins
Thanks a lot. Your information is really helpful.helped me a lot.Stop/Start P.B.s carry a trivial load when used to pick up a relay or contactor.
It is what ever the load current of the coil, usually no more than a couple of amps.

Just rewired my metal cutting lathe, the 'control' circuit had a 2amp fuse in it, for pulling in 3 contactors.Stop/Start P.B.s carry a trivial load when used to pick up a relay or contactor.

Atlast someone finally solved it realy nice.thanks for you rply.i already soughted it out.thanks for your rply.As usual, half the 'helpful' responders have failed to understand the OP's requirement!
He has a motorised pump with a control panel with start and stop buttons on it. Clearly the motor is actually switched on and off via a contacter - a momentary start push-button wouldn't do it, would it?
He wants to start the pump remotely, therefore he wants to cause the contacter to pull in by means of a relay rather than a push button. As MaxHeadroom said earlier, the only requirement, therefore, is to switch the contacter coil current. Typical consumption for a contacter for a pump like that would be 5 - 10VA with an inrush of probably 10X that. So any relay with a contact rating in excess of about 1 amp should be fine.
It would be very foolish to do as some seemed to suggest, and run the motor directly through a 40A relay, or whatever. Motor start contacters have built in over-current protection, stall protection etc.
