2.3 Electrical Power Requirement
Power requirement: AC220V, 1-phase
Breaker Size:
20A
The machine needs no further electrical installation.
For the
North American market, the equipment comes with 1.8 meters of cable with a plug
(6-20P).
For the
European market, the machine is equipped with an industrial plug with European
Standard.
The input power supply of the machine is 1-phase, AC220V. The steady-state AC power supply is
0.9-1.1 times of the rated value.
2.3.1 Equipment grounding
This machine must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for the electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance
is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug
must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local building codes and ordinances.
WARNING
– Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.
2.3.2 Cable Inspection and Extension
Before using, you need to check the cable to see if there is any damage. If any, it should be
immediately repaired or replaced.
Extension cables cause a voltage drop, which may damage electrical components and shorten
the motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cable size gets longer and the cable size
gets smaller.
