Diy automatic dust collection wiring diagram
I have been getting a lot of requests to make a video about my dust collection system and the automated electrical wiring diagram. I have created a wiring diagram for you to use as you please, this diagram will allow you to create automated blast Gates that turn the vacuum system on when you open your dust collection blast gate.
Please use caution when working with electrical wiring, if you are not a competent professional please ask questions before you attempt anything that could harm you or others. Thank you the Mckeel's woodworks
Thank you for your excellent video and detailed commentary. This will help me a great deal and I learned a lot. You mentioned the phone charger and I understand that it goes into the bottom electrical outlet. Where does the other end go?
Thanks for the detailed video!

Question about the switch. Why is the switch needed? Just so that you can shut it off so the relay does not over heat? I bought the relay and it came with a heat sink device but there is no way that device will fit in the deep electrical box. If someone has to remember to go to the dust collector to shut off the switch for the relay or even put the switch somewhere close to where you work, then I am not getting the idea of automating the DC to come on by opening a blast gate. I mean I get the convenience of any blast gate opening would turn on the dust collector and shut it off, but then we have to remember to flip that switch. I am not liking that option because then it would be easy to forget to turn it off. I have a remote for my DC and after watching several other videos on doing what you have done, and after wiring everything to make this blast gate automation, I am now stuck with the idea of having to remember to turn off a switch for something you cannot see or hear running. I was thinking why couldn't I have use an alexa enabled switch instead of the one I bought. That way maybe I could out some automation in place that says if the switch is on for a certain period of time, turn off the switch or send me an alert that it is on for say 30 minutes or an hour. Thoughts?
I veiwed in your video that the right side of the outlet had the break off tab removed but the left side of the outlet where the neutral is located at the bottom was not removed, my question is should both sides of the outlet have the break off tabs removed?
And I am finally find a video I was looking for.
Thanks a mil.
You're welcome!
Do Not break the White tab.
Break the tab on the black side only!

Is it correct to say that the micro switch in it's closed or pushed down position, is the same as bridging the relay's #3 and #4 position's? That seems it would be a dc short? I am not clear where the + And - dc source (phone supply is input.)
I can't seem to follow the DC input into and through the micro switch, and from the micro switch, back to the relay. I don't clearly see the DC input's. It looks like a DC short between #3 and #4 on the relay?
Thank you for this video! I hope you can help me follow the dc circuit. Looks like you have it set up as a normally closed micro switch and passes when open (uncompressed) I just cannot follow the + and - dc part of the diagram. Thank you have the setup I want to do!!
You can wire the micro switches to be either NO or NC (Normally Open or Normally Closed). The way these are wired is so that when the switch is closed (depressed) the circuit is open, and when the switch is open (the blast gate is no longer depressing the switch) the circuit is then closed.
The 3 and 4 position sense a DC voltage when the micro switch completes the circuit, then the relay closes the AC circuit to start the dust collector.
Shouldn’t the outlet be grounded to the box?
It is grounded to the metal box. If I failed to mention that in the video, grounding it to a metal box is correct
Little clarification - the 3 and 4 post on the relay are sensing DC voltage - it won't sense DC voltage until the blast gates are opened therefore completing the circuit of the "Phone charger" which is really just a DC power supply. Once the relay senses DC voltage on the 3 and 4 posts the contacted closes completing the circuit on the 1 and 2 posts. Basically once the 3 and 4 posts sense DC voltage it shuts the "Relay" in the SSR and completes the AC circuit starting your dust collector.
That sounds good. Do you have a specific concern with the set up? I am sure there are more than one way to the same result. But the way I show it in the video is the way that works well for my set up.
@@TheMcKeelsWoodworks No, your setup is fine, just clarification on the fact that the DC and AC have zero to do with one another. The DC merely is a sensing line to close the relay to complete the AC circuit. DC also doesn't have a "Neutral" it is just positive and negative. Maybe I have spent too many years dealing with both at extremely high voltages and amperages. At the end of the day your setup is perfect, just the terms used were a bit fuzzy.
