Assuming you want to switch a single phase motor, (such as in a residence), you simply have to connect the switch to the incoming power feed. The outgoing, or "switched power" lead then goes directly to the motor. Note the neutral (grounded conductor, the white wire) and ground wire do not switch but connect directly to the motor. Do not use a residential light switch for this application. There are small switches designed to turn motors on/off. The switch must be rated high enough for the amperage and horsepower of the motor. The amp rating and HP are stamped right on the metal base of the switch. Remember, the switch you install must be in an approved electrical enclosure, not in "open air" to be safe from shock hazard or fire. Use an electrical junction box or mount it right in the unit by the motor if that is convenient. These parts are available at hardware stores. If by chance you're trying to switch a three phase motor, post another question providing the horsepower of the motor and its application, as this may require a motor starter (contactor). <><><> As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
