Circuit Requirements

SECTION 2: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

220V Single-Phase

Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect the machine to the power source
before you have completed the setup pro-
cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the
power source until instructed to do so.
Amperage Draw
The Model G0632 motor draws the following
amps under maximum load:
Motor Draw at 220V ............................. 4.7 Amps
Circuit Requirements
The included frequency inverter takes in 220V
single-phase power and converts it to 3-phase
power for the variable speed lathe motor. We rec-
ommend connecting your machine to a dedicated
and grounded circuit that is rated for the amperage
and phase given below. Never replace a circuit
breaker on an existing circuit with one of higher
amperage without consulting a qualified electri-
cian to ensure compliance with wiring codes. If
you are unsure about the wiring codes in your
area or you plan to connect your machine to a
shared circuit, consult a qualified electrician.

Grounding
In the event of an electrical short, grounding
reduces the risk of electric shock. The grounding
wire in the power cord must be properly connected
to the grounding prong on the plug; likewise, the
outlet must be properly installed and grounded.
All electrical connections must be made in accor-
dance with local codes and ordinances.
Electrocution or fire could
result if this machine is
not
or if your electrical con-
figuration does not comply
with local and state codes.
Ensure
checking with a qualified
electrician!
Extension Cords
We do not recommend the use of extension cords.
Instead, arrange the placement of your equipment
and the installed wiring to eliminate the need for
extension cords.
If you find it absolutely necessary to use an exten-
sion cord at 220V with your machine:
• Use at least a 16 gauge cord that does not
exceed 50 feet in length!
• The extension cord must also contain a
ground wire and plug pin.
• A qualified electrician MUST size cords over
50 feet long to prevent motor damage.
