Circuit Requirements 220V Operation - Grizzly G4185 Instruction Manual

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
220V Operation
The Model G4185 has a 2 H.P., 3450 R.P.M.
motor which requires a 220V single-phase circuit.
The cord set enclosed does not have a plug as
the style of plug you require will depend upon the
type of service you currently have or plan to
install. The motor will safely draw about 12 amps
at 220V under load. If you operate the Model
G4185 on any circuit that is already close to its
capacity, it might blow a fuse or trip a circuit
breaker. However, if an unusual load does not
exist, and power failure still occurs, have the cir-
cuit inspected by a qualified electrician.

Circuit Load
When operating at 220V, we recommend using a
NEMA-style 6L-15 plug and outlet. See Figure 1.
You may also "hard-wire" the machine directly to
your panel, provided you place a disconnect
switch near the machine. Check the electrical
codes in your area for specifics on wiring require-
ments.
Under normal use, the motor draws approximate-
ly 12 amps at 220V. We recommend a 15 amp cir-
cuit breaker for 220V operation This should be
satisfactory for normal use while providing
enough protection against circuit damage caused
by power surges.
