The three phase Band Saw may be converted to 460 volt operation.
It is recommended that the three phase 230V Sander be connected to a grounded and dedicated, minimum 20 amp circuit with a 20 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. It is recommended that the three phase 460V sander be connected to a grounded and dedicated, minimum 15 amp circuit with a 15 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Local codes take precedence over recommendations.
If the Sander is to be
Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the Disc Sander.
Extension Cords
If an extension cord is necessary make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The chart in Figure 3 shows the correct size cord to use based on cord length and motor plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.
