Electrical Requirements
The appropriate power source must be available to plug in the centrifuge. The power supply and outlet
type required varies, depending on the rating on the nameplate. Check the nameplate on the back
panel of the centrifuge to determine the electrical configuration of your centrifuge, which should be
one of the following:
Table 2-2. Electrical Requirements
NAME PLATE RATING
AC208/220/230/240
50/60Hz 21-24A single phase
AC200 50/60Hz
25A single phase
AC400 50/60Hz
2x15A 3 phase
To connect to a different voltage, the centrifuge must be rewired and its plug may also have to be
replaced. Contact Thermo Fisher Scientific or your local representative of Thermo Fisher Scientific
products. For connection to a different outlet, the power cord may also need to be replaced. Follow
local electrical codes.

CAUTION The centrifuge can be damaged if it is connected to the wrong voltage, or if it is
connected to a line voltage that varies more than plus/minus 10% of its nominal value.
Check the voltage before plugging the centrifuge into any power source. Thremo Fisher
Scientific is not responsible for improper installation.
SUPPLY REQUIRED
AC208/220/230/240 50/60Hz 30A single phase (25A single phase may be
acceptable depending on you local electrical codes).
AC200 50/60Hz 30A single phase
AC400 50/60Hz 2x25A 3 phase
WARNING Your centrifuge must be grounded properly to avoid electrical shock hazards.
