Grizzly Understanding Circuit Requirements for Your G9983 Sander

SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Single-Phase

The Model G9983 features a 5 HP, 220V single- phase motor. This motor will safely draw about 30 amps under load. The Model G9983 also features a 1Ú4 HP feed motor that draws approximately 1.8 amps under load. Total amperage draw for this machine is approximately 32 amps under load.

Use a 35 amp circuit breaker for the Model G9983. Make sure the wiring in your circuit is rated to handle the amperage draw from your machine. If frequent circuit failure occurs when using the sander, contact our Service Department. The sander must be connected to its own dedicated circuit and should not share a cir- cuit with any other machine. A standard 2-pole breaker is necessary for use with the sander.

We recommend using a NEMA-style 6-50 plug and outlet (similar to the one shown in Figure 1) for the Model G9983. You may also Òhard-wireÓ the sander directly to your panel, provided you place a disconnect near the machine. Check the electrical codes in your area for specifics on wiring requirements.
