Electrical Safety
AC Power Receptacle
The power cord used on the Dukane vibration welder,
Models 5300, 5500, and 5700, has a three-pole, four-
blade, grounding type plug designed for 3-Phase 480 VAC
at 30 Amps. The 480 VAC 3-Phase plug configuration
is shown in Figure 2-1. It is designed to be plugged into
a 480 VAC, 3-Phase, 30 Amp, NEMA type L16 -30R
receptacle as shown in Figure 2-2.
NOTE: Models 5900 and 5960 are not supplied with a
power cord.
Do not alter the plug or receptacle in any way. Do not
use an extension cord. If there is any question about the
grounding or phasing of your AC power, have it checked
by a qualified electrician. See custom input voltage note
in Section 13 – Specifications - AC Power.
AC Power Disconnect
Always turn off the AC power at the disconnect switch
before opening any of the service doors or attempting
any maintenance on the welder. The recommended
practice is to also tag and lock out the disconnect switch.
The CE-compliant AC disconnect is standard. Turn
the switch to the off position as shown, then pull the
center horizontal bar out to insert a lockout as shown in
Figure 2-3. The handle style AC disconnect, which is also
available, is shown in Figure 2- 4 with a lockout and tag.
Electrical Cabinet Door
The electrical cabinet service door is mechanically
interlocked to the CE-compliant AC power disconnect.
The cabinet door cannot be opened without first turning
off the AC power.
