Electrical Installation

IMPORTANT: Electrical ratings are subject to change. Refer to serial decal for electrical ratings information specific to your machine.

IMPORTANT: Alliance Laundry Systems warranty does not cover compounds that fail as a result of improper input voltage.

WARNING

Hazardous Voltage. Can cause shock, burn or cause death. Allow machine power to remain off for two minutes prior to working in and around AC inverter drive.

WARNING

Hazardous Voltage. Can cause shock, burn or death. Verify that a ground wire from a proven earth ground is connected to the lug near the input power block on this machine.

W360

The AC inverter drive requires a clean power supply free from voltage spikes and surges. A voltage monitor should be used to check incoming power. The customer’s local power company may provide such a monitor.

If input voltage measures above 240V for a 220V drive or above 415V for a 400V drive, ask the power company to lower the voltage. As an alternative, a step-down transformer kit is available from the distributor.

The AC drive provides overload protection for the drive motor. However, a separate single or three phase circuit breaker must be installed for complete electrical overload protection. This prevents damage to the motor by disconnecting all legs if one should be lost accidentally. Check the data plate on the back of the washer-extractor or consult Table 6 for circuit breaker requirements.

DANGER

Do not use a phase adder on any variable- speed machine.

W490

The washer-extractor should be connected to an individual branch circuit not shared with lighting or other equipment.

The connection should be shielded in a liquid tight or approved flexible conduit with proper conductors of correct size installed in accordance with the National Electric Code or other applicable codes. The connection must be made by a qualified electrician using the wiring diagram provided with the washer- extractor, or according to accepted European standards for CE-approved equipment.

Use wire sizes indicated in Table 6 for runs up to 50 feet.

Use next larger size for runs of 50 to 100 feet. Use two sizes larger for runs greater than 100 feet.

For personal safety and proper operation, the washer- extractor must be grounded in accordance with state and local codes. If such codes are not available, grounding must conform with the National Electric Code, article 250-95. The ground connection must be made to a proven earth ground, not to conduit or water pipes.
