Grizzly G0527 Circuit Requirements, Amperage Draw, Circuit Breaker, Connection Type

SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

Amperage Draw

The Model G0527 has three motors that are wired to operate on a 220V single-phase power source. They will draw the following loads:

Sanding Drum Motor	30	Amps
Conveyor Feed Motor	3.8	Amps
Elevation Motor	3	Amps

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 40 Amp, 2 Pole

Connection Type

Because of the high amperage draw from this machine, we recommend that you hardwire it directly to your circuit breaker and install a lock- ing shut-off lever (Figure 1) near the machine as a way to quickly disconnect the power.

Circuit Capacity

Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage load from your machine. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

If you operate this machine 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 a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician or our Service Department at (570) 546-9663.
