NOTE: Make sure the granulator is not drawing excessive amperage during operation.

1.Check appropriate amperage as listed on the motor nameplate.

2.Measure amperage with ammeter by connecting ammeter to incoming power feed wires. Make sure machine is not drawing more than amperage listed on the nameplate. The amperage will change according to motor size.

3.If amperage exceeds the amount listed on nameplate, check the following:

FAQ

How do I verify proper functioning of the interlocks?

It is only necessary to connect the electrical power source to the machine at the control enclosure.

What warnings should I be aware of when connecting electrical power?

All equipment must be grounded in compliance with Article 250 of the National Electric Code. The customers disconnecting means and branch circuit protection must also be in compliance with the National Electric Code and all Local Codes.

What should I do if the granulator is drawing excessive amperage?

Check the appropriate amperage as listed on the motor nameplate and measure amperage with an ammeter by connecting it to incoming power feed wires. If the amperage exceeds the amount listed on nameplate, check the sharpness of knives and quoted feed rate of the granulator.
