5.0 Electrical Installation
Before assembling, installing, or connecting any components,
follow the safety information in the ETS-Lindgren
Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment.
Electrical installation must be performed by a qualified
electrician, and in accordance with local and national electrical
standards.
Make sure the power is off and secured before proceeding.
The Model 2187 Turntable is configured to operate using 208-230 VAC,
single phase, 50/60 Hz service. It is recommended to operate at this voltage level
to reduce the surge currents necessary to power an electric motor.
1. The branch circuit supplying power to the motor base should be
protected from excess current according to local electrical codes. An
integral circuit breaker is mounted inside the main bearing on one of the
bearing support blocks. The circuit breaker is specifically designed for
the inductive load presented by the electric motor.
2. Make sure the conductor size is adequate for the motor load and the
distance from the mains source. Improperly sized conductors will lead to
a high voltage drop in the power conductors and cause reduced starting
torque and premature motor failure.
3. The motor base assembly is provided with a non-terminated flexible
conduit with input power leads exposed. The flexible conduit is to be
terminated into a junction box fitted on or near the motor base. Terminate
the power leads of the motor base assembly according to local electrical
code requirements. Following is the conductor color code:
Brown: AC high
Blue: AC neutral
Green/Yellow: Protective earth/safety ground
