Electrical Requirements

Shock Hazard

  • This unit must be adequately and safely grounded (earthed) or electrical shock could result. Refer to local electrical codes for correct grounding (earthing) procedures or in absence of local codes, with The National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-(the current edition). In Canada, all electrical connections are to be made in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, and/or local codes.
  • To avoid electrical shock, this appliance must be equipped with an external circuit breaker which will disconnect all ungrounded (unearthed) conductors. The main power switch on this appliance does not disconnect all line conductors.
  • The power cord may be already attached to the unit, ordered as an accessory, or provided at installation. Check the data plate to determine the correct power supply.

(FOR EQUIPMENT WITH CE MARK ONLY!)

To prevent electric shock hazard this appliance must be bonded to other appliances or touchable metal surfaces in close proximity to this appliance with an equipotential bonding conductor. This appliance is equipped with an equipotential lug for this purpose. The equipotential lug is marked with the following symbol.

Equipotential Ground Symbol =

A separate disconnect switch with proper capacity fuses or breakers must be installed at a convenient location between the cabinet and the power source. The field supply wiring to the cabinet should be an insulated copper conductor rated for 600 volts and 90ºC.

The electrical power can be connected from the bottom or from (Continued) the operator’s side. There is a 1-3/32 inch diameter hole from either connection. Again, we recommend the bottom connection as this will give a cleaner appearance to the unit. Please observe the electrical connection information on the data plate located on the side panel of the control end.
