duty 15 Amp socket.

Compressors fitted with a heavy duty three-pin 15 Amp plug (on which the earth pin is noticeably

larger in cross-section than the other two pins) must only be connected to a heavy duty 15 Amp

socket. No other electrical appliances should be connected to the same branch circuit. Under no

circumstances should a 15 Amp plug be modified to fit into a 10 Amp socket. This is a dangerous

practice and will void warranty on the motor.

Compressors fitted with dual motors must only be connected to two separate 15 Amp sockets. No

other electrical appliances should be connected to either of these branch circuits.

The direction of motor rotation has been correctly pre-set at the factory during manufacture. If

fitting a replacement motor, check that its direction of rotation is anti-clockwise when viewed

looking onto the motor output shaft or compressor pump pulley.

Each 240 Volt motor is fitted with its own manual reset thermal overload protection device. In the

event that it is activated due to an overload condition, it is necessary to allow the motor to cool

down before the overload switch can be manually reset.

5.7.2

415 Volt Air Compressors

These models are shipped with a pre-wired four-core flexible electrical supply lead that must be

either terminated in a suitable four-pin plug or hard-wired for connection to a dedicated electrical

supply of adequate capacity fitted with a circuit breaker or fused disconnect switch. The minimum

recommended circuit breaker ratings listed in Table 5-3 serve as a general guide only for dedicated

supply to the compressor. This electrical installation work must be carried out by a licensed

electrician.

The maximum running current may exceed the specified value in practice if the electricity supply

voltage or power factor are below their rated levels. A four-wire conductor is required for the

electricity supply, i.e. three-phase and earth; no neutral is required. For additional protection against

electric shock, it is recommended to include a fixed setting residual current device (RCD) with rated

operating residual current not exceeding 30 mA.

The direction of motor rotation must be checked and properly adjusted during electrical installation.

For correct compressor operation, the motor rotation must be anti-clockwise when viewed looking
