A-2
Calculating Melter Power Requirements
Part 1024496_06
To evaluate the hose/gun power requirements
1. Match each hose and gun pair and then match each pair to the hose/gun
module it will be connected to on the back of the melter.
2. Examine the identification tag or plate on each hose and gun and record
the wattage of each in Table A‐1.
3. Add the sum of the wattages for each hose/gun pair and the combined
total wattage for each hose/gun module.
4. Compare the wattages tabulated in Table A‐1 with the associated
maximum allowable wattages listed in Table A‐2.
5. Do one of the following:
S
If each of the wattages calculated in step 3 does not exceed the
associated maximum allowable wattages listed in Table A‐2, then the
power required by the hoses and guns is within acceptable limits.
S
If any of the wattages calculated in step 3 does exceed an associated
maximum allowable wattage listed in Table A‐2, then the
configuration or position of the hose/gun pairs must be rearranged or
shorter hoses must be used in order to reduce the power
requirement.
