    220 volt three way switch?

    I am looking to set up a 220 volt woodworking vacuum system on a three way switched outlet.

    Is that possible, and if so, is there a special switch for 220?

    Thanks!

    I wouldn't use a three way to switch a 240 volt load. better way is to get a 30 amp contactor with a 120 volt operating coil. use the 120 volt as in any other conventional three way circuit to switch the coil of the contactor.
