4.5 Electrical Power Requirement

Electrical Requirements:
Power required for proper operation of Cocoon Fitness Pod should meet the following
specifications depending on the Cocoon Fitness Pod model you have purchased:
110/120 Volt, 20 Amp or 220/240 Volt, 15 Amp
Please refer to Chapter 10, Labels and Location, on page 58 of this Owner's Manual and check
the exact voltage specifications shown on your Cocoon Fitness Pod specifications label. It will be
either 110v or 220v power requirement. Because of the nature of the unit, each individual Cocoon
Fitness Pod System requires a dedicated 20-amp electrical service for safe and proper operation.
Most homes and businesses in the U.S. are wired with a combination of 15-amp and 20-amp, 120-
volt circuits. A 15-amp circuit is usually served by 14-gauge wire and is protected by a 15-amp
circuit breaker or fuse. A 20-amp circuit, protected by a 20-amp breaker or fuse, must be served
by 12-gauge or 10-gauge wire. A "dedicated" circuit means that no other appliances are
plugged into the receptacle or any other receptacle utilizing the same circuit. Check with your
electrician if you are not sure about this.
The thicker wire ensures the wires do not overheat under a 20-amp load. The easiest way to
determine whether the circuit is 15 or 20 amps is to look at the corresponding breaker or fuse in
the breaker panel. Because 15-amp receptacles can be used with 20-amp circuits, most of the
receptacles you see in homes are the standard 15-amp variety, with two slots and a u-shaped
grounding hole.
20-amp receptacles (shown below) have a horizontal slot branching off one of the vertical slots.
Appliances, such as microwave ovens, often have 20-amp plugs and must be plugged into a 20-
amp outlet. 15-amp plugs can be safely plugged into 20-amp outlets, but 20-amp plugs will not
fit into 15-amp outlets.
Receptacle Types: Standard Household and Commercial Electrical Receptacles
15-Amp Duplex Receptacles – The duplex receptacle has been the standard
electrical outlet in American homes since the 1960s. Each of the two outlets have
a long (neutral) slot, a shorter (hot) slot and a half-round grounding hole.
20-Amp Receptacles – Many appliances, tools and electronics, and the Cocoon
Fitness Pod System, require specific types of electrical outlets in order to operate
safely and at peak efficiency.
20-Amp Outlets – A 20-amp receptacle is essential for the use of the Cocoon Fitness
Pod System. Use 20-amp outlets only on 20-amp circuits, which can be identified
by looking at your circuit breakers.
connected to one of the vertical slots in the outlet as shown.
