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
