Electrical; Circuit Requirements - Shop fox W1837 Owner's Manual

Circuit.Requirements
This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-
load current drawn from the machine for an extended
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
Full-Load.Current.Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the
largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices
that might operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load.Current.Rating.at.120V................... 15.Amps
Full-Load.Current.Rating.at.240V.................. 7.5.Amps
Circuit.Requirements.for.120V.(Prewired)
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply
circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following
requirements:
