Grounding

 

Phase Converter

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding wire in the power cord must be properly connect- ed to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the outlet must be properly installed and ground- ed. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with local codes and ordinances.

Improper connections of the electrical-grounding conductor increases the risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or one of our service personnel if you do not understand the grounding instructions, or if you doubt the machine is properly grounded.

Electrocution or fire could result if this machine is not grounded correctly or if your electrical con- figuration does not com- ply with local and state codes. Ensure compliance by checking with a quali- fied electrician!

When using a phase converter, the power from the manufactured power leg (sometimes called the wild wire) can fluctuate. Connect the manu- factured power leg to the S terminal to prevent damage to the transformer. The wire from the S terminal can handle some fluctuation because it goes directly to the motor. The power going to the R and T terminals goes to the transformer and must be consistent to prevent damage.

Extension Cords

Because of the high amperage draw from this machine, we do not recommend the use of exten- sion cords. Instead, position your equipment near installed wiring to eliminate the need for exten- sion cords.
