SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

Amperage Draw

The Model G0550/G0551 motor is wired to oper- ate at 220V only. The planer motors draw the fol- lowing amperage:

Amperage Draw
G0550 2 HP	12		Amps
G0551 3 HP	18		Amps

Plug-Type

We recommend using a NEMA-style 6-15 plug and outlet with the G0550 as shown in Figure 1a and an L6-20 plug and outlet for the G0551 as shown in Figure 1b. You may also “hard-wire” the planer directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.

Circuit Breaker

Use the following guidelines when choosing a cir- cuit breaker (circuit breakers rated any higher are not adequate to protect the circuit):

Circuit Breaker
G0550		15 Amp, 2 Pole
G0551		20 Amp, 2 Pole
