3-3 Electrical Installation

The continuous loss-in-weight blending system is designed to operate on 115 volt, single phase, 50 or 60 hertz AC power. The power requirements will vary with the blender’s size and throughput rating. For exact current requirements, check the blender serial number tag, located on the blender motor control panel.

As an added option, the manufacturer may provide a voltage transformer for special supply voltage. If supplied, they are rated for the load required by the blending system - no other equipment should be connected to the transformer. The additional equipment may induce noise into the power circuit to the blender, as well as possibly overload the transformer.

The power transformer wiring and mounting is the responsibility of the customer. If company or local codes require fusing or disconnects, these items must be supplied, wired, and mounted by the customer.

Each blending system MUST be connected to a separate source of power. Do not connect extra equipment on the same line, with or without use of the transformer.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the power requirements of the blending system are satisfied.
