Circuit Requirements, 220V Single-Phase

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Single-Phase

220V Three-Phase

G9984 Only:

The Model G9984 has a 3 H.P., 1725 R.P.M. motor which requires a 220V single-phase circuit. The cord set included does not have a plug, as the style of plug you require will depend upon the type of service you currently have or plan to install. The motor will safely draw about 16 amps at 220V under load. If you operate the Model G9984 on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist, and the circuit breaker still trips, have the circuit inspected by a qualified electrician.

In preparing to connect the Model G9984 to your existing or new circuit, it will be necessary to con- nect a plug that matches your 220V receptacle. If you will be installing a new receptacle and plug, we recommend using a NEMA-style L6-20 plug and outlet shown in Figure 1.

The Model G9984 should be fused at 20 amps. Do not attempt to modify an existing circuit by replacing the circuit breaker with one rated for a higher amperage than the plug, outlet and wiring can handle. Make sure that existing electrical wires are capable of handling a 20 amp current. If you are unsure, seek the assistance of a qualified electrician.

G9985 Only:

The Model G9985 has a 3 H.P., 1725 R.P.M. motor which requires a 220V three-phase circuit. The cord set enclosed does not have a plug, as the style of plug you require will depend upon the type of service you currently have or plan to install. The motor will safely draw about 9 amps at 220V under load. If you operate the Model G9985 on any circuit that is already close to its capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker. However, if an unusual load does not exist, and the circuit breaker still trips, have the circuit inspected by a qualified electrician.

In preparing to connect the Model G9985 to your existing or new circuit, it will be necessary to con- nect a plug that matches your 220V receptacle. If you will be installing a new receptacle and plug, we recommend using a NEMA-style L15-20 plug and outlet shown in Figure 2.

The Model G9985 should be fused at 20 amps. Do not attempt to modify an existing circuit by replac- ing the circuit breaker with one rated for a higher amperage than the plug, outlet and wiring can handle. Make sure that existing electrical wires are capable of handling a 20 amp current. If you are unsure, seek the assistance of a qualified electrician.
