Circuit Requirements

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Single-Phase

Serious personal injury could occur if you connect the machine to the power source before you have completed the setup pro- cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the power source until instructed to do so.

Plug/Receptacle Type

Recommended Plug/Receptacle.......NEMA 6-15

Grounding

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

Amperage Draw

The Model G0632 motor draws the following amps under maximum load:

Motor Draw at 220V

4.7 Amps

Circuit Requirements

The included frequency inverter takes in 220V single-phase power and converts it to 3-phase power for the variable speed lathe motor. We rec- ommend connecting your machine to a dedicated and grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage and phase given below. Never replace a circuit breaker on an existing circuit with one of higher amperage without consulting a qualified electri- cian to ensure compliance with wiring codes. If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area or you plan to connect your machine to a shared circuit, consult a qualified electrician.

220V, Single Phase Circuit

15 Amps

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

Extension Cords

We do not recommend the use of extension cords. Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for extension cords.

If you find it absolutely necessary to use an exten- sion cord at 220V with your machine:

Use at least a 16 gauge cord that does not exceed 50 feet in length!

The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin.

A qualified electrician MUST size cords over 50 feet long to prevent motor damage.
