Installation
Electrical Connection
14
Electrical connections should be made by a
qualified electrician in accordance with all
applicable codes or requirements. Use a
separate branch circuit to power each
machine. Do not share circuits with lighting
or any other equipment.
A shielded liquid tight or approved flexible
conduit with proper conductor of correct
size installed in accordance with National
Electric Code (USA) or other applicable
codes is required. The connection must be
made by a qualified electrician using the
wiring diagram provided with the machine.
For personal safety and for proper
operation, the machine must be grounded
in accordance with state and local codes
and in the USA in accordance with the
National Electric Code, article 250-96.
The ground connection must be to a proven
earth ground, not to conduit or water pipes.
Do not connect the ground to the neutral
(N) leg at the terminal strip (if so equipped).
If a DELTA supply system is used, the high
leg should be connected to L3, since
control voltage is derived from L1 and L2.
Insure that the control transformer taps are
connected in accordance with the incoming
line voltage. Verify connections as shown
on the schematic with each machine.
