I bought a few of these last year.
Buy Axminster Emergency Stop NVR Switch from Axminster, fast delivery for the UK
Contain both an NVR switch and emergency stop. They do require an electrician to connect..

When plugging into one of those switches on the VC there is normally a limitation on the current draw. My VC is a cheapie and will only allow a maximum of 600W, which pretty much restricts the tools I use with it to the ROS. Everything else is too big.
Other VCs I have heard of going to 1200W, but even that would be insufficient for the smaller Triton router.
Worth checking if you haven't already done so.

Thanks for the heads up, I had thought about it but not looked into it......sounds like I'd best do some more homework.
No big deal I guess if its got its own plug - might be best

Hang on, given the CT 26 draws at least 350 W and as much as 1200W, if you plug a 2400 W router into it that makes total of 2750 - 3600W which is not what a 10A power circuit is designed to take. So the VC might be able to cope but the circuit/breaker might not especially if anything else is connected to the same line.
3600 W loads should be connected to a 15A line - 15A lines are usually restricted to 1 GPO and 1 breaker.
ADDENDUM:
****************************************************
The Manual has the following info on Maximum Appliance socket connected load
EU 2400W
CH, DK 1100 W
GB 240V/110V 1800W/500W
I assume our electrical standards would be closest to the GB 240V which means 1800 W isthe maximum appliance load.
EU standards are supposed to be able to take greater loads but some of the so called professional domestic wiring I have seen in Italy and France are definitely WAY worse than anything I have see in Oz.

No Volt relay essential
Remember that on startup these routers can draw x6 times the rated motor current if you haven't got a soft start ffuture on your router.
More importantly, you really need a switch with a No- Volt relay in it, so that if the power stops briefly, the router shuts down, but will not re-start if the power comes back on. You need to actually operate the switch to re-start the motor.regards,
