Model G0511 | 440V Operation |
The Model G0511 Bandsaw is pre-wired for 3- phase, 220V operation. Under normal use, the 5 HP motor draws approximately 13 amps. We rec- ommend using a 15 amp circuit, including a 15 amp circuit breaker, plug, receptacle and wiring rated for at least 15 amps. If frequent circuit breaker failures occur when using the bandsaw, contact our service department.
This bandsaw must be connected to its own ded- icated circuit. It should not share a circuit with any other machine. A standard 3-pole breaker is nec- essary for use with the Model G0511.
This bandsaw is not supplied with a cord and power plug. We recommend using a NEMA-style L15-20 plug and outlet, similar to Figure 2. You may also “hard-wire” the bandsaw directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.
Please refer to the wiring diagram on page 31 for power hook-up information.
The Model G0511 Bandsaw is furnished with a 3 HP 3-phase motor that can be wired to 440V. Under normal use, this motor draws approxi- mately 6.5 amps at 440V. If 440V operation is desired, we recommend using a 10 amp circuit that includes the appropriate wiring, plug and cir- cuit breaker. If frequent circuit failures occur when using the bandsaw, contact our service department.
The bandsaw must be connected to its own ded- icated 10A circuit. It should not share a circuit with any other machine. A standard 3-pole break- er is necessary for 440V use.
We recommend using a NEMA-style L16-20 plug and outlet similar to that in Figure 3. You may also “hard-wire” the bandsaw directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.
If you convert the bandsaw to 440V, the stock magnetic switch must be replaced with a dif- ferent magnetic switch specifically for 440V use. The 440 magnetic switch is not included with your bandsaw.
