Electrical Information _________________

Electrical Requirements
All electrical connections must be made by a properly
licensed and competent electrician. This is to ensure that
the electrical installation is adequate and conforms to local,
state, and national regulations or codes of the country of
origin. In the absence of such codes, all electrical
connections, materials, and workmanship must conform to
the applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION or in Canada, the
Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or
LATEST EDITION.
IMPORTANT: Failure to comply with these codes or
ordinances, and/or the requirements stipulated in this
manual can result in personal injury or component failure.
NOTE: Component failure due to improper installation will
void the warranty.
Gear cabinet should be connected to an independently
protected branch circuit. The gear cabinet must be
connected with copper wire only. Do not use aluminum
wire, which could cause a fire hazard. The copper conductor
wire/cable must be of proper ampacity and insulation in
accordance with electric codes for making all service
connections.
NOTE: The use of aluminum wire will void the warranty.
An individual ground circuit must be provided to each gear
cabinet, do not daisy chain.
Component failure due to improper voltage application will
void the warranty.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes in
specifications at any time without notice or obligation.
IMPORTANT: A separate protected circuit must be provided
to each gear cabinet.
It is necessary to have a power disconnect for each gear
cabinet. These disconnects must be located within 9 meters
of the unit and also be identified as being one of two power
sources supplying a dryer.
The dryer must be connected to the electric supply shown
on the data label. In the case of 208 VAC or 230/240 VAC,
the supply voltage must match the electric service
specifications of the data label exactly.
The wire size must be properly sized to handle the related
current.
Warning
208 VAC and 230/240 VAC are not the same. Any
damage done to dryer components due to improper
voltage connections will automatically void the
warranty.

ELECTRICAL SERVICE SPECIFICATIONS
IMPORTANT: 208 VAC AND 230/240 VAC ARE NOT THE SAME. When ordering,
specify exact voltage.
NOTES: A. When fuses are used they must be dual element, time delay, current
limiting, class RK1 or RK5 ONLY . Calculate/determine correct fuse
value, by applying either local and/or National Electrical Codes to
listed appliance amp draw data.
B. Circuit breakers are thermal-magnetic (industrial) type ONLY . For
others, calculate/verify correct breaker size according to appliance
amp draw rating and type of breaker used.
C. Circuit breakers for 3-phase (3ø) dryers must be 3-pole type.

Grounding
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed
in accordance with local, state, and national regulations or
codes of the country of origin. In the absence of these codes,
grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST
EDITION, or in Canada, the installation must conform to
applicable Canada Standards: Canadian Electrical Codes
Parts 1 & 2 CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION. The
ground connection may be to a proven earth ground at the
location service panel.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested
that a separate ground wire (size per local codes) be
connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a
grounded cold water pipe. Do not ground to a gas pipe or
hot water pipe. The grounded cold water pipe must have
metal-to-metal connection all the way to the electrical ground.
If there are any nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter,
pump, plastic, rubber, or other insulating connectors, they
must be jumped out with a wire (size per local codes) and
securely clamped to bare metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT: For personal safety and proper operation, the
dryer must be grounded.
Provisions are made for ground connection in each dryer at
the electrical service connection area.
Electrical Connections
A wiring diagram is located behind the control panel for
connection data.
If local codes permit, power to the dryer can be made by the
use of a flexible UL listed power cord/pigtail (wire size must
conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired
directly to the service breaker panel. In both cases, a strain
relief must be installed where the wiring enters the dryer.
