⚠
DANGER All electrical work
must be done by a licensed, certified Electrician
in
accordance with all applicable local electrical codes . Damage caused by improper
electrical installation may void your warranty.
All electrical work
must
conform to applicable local, state, and federal codes, rules, and regulations,
such as state and federal OSHA regulations and electrical codes. The Compressor
must
be
grounded.
Important : BendPak recommends having your Electrician check all wire connections inside the
Electrical Box; sometimes they can become loose during transport.
Based on what’s best for your specific location, most customers have their Electrician:
•
Wire the Compressor directly into the facility’s electrical system, or
• Add a power cord with appropriate plug to the Compressor, which is then plugged in to an
appropriate power source.
The Electrician will need to provide these components; they are not supplied with the Compressor.
There is a hole in the bottom of the Electrical Box (labelled Power In on the inside) specifically for
wiring the Compressor to a power source.
Important : The Compressor uses electrical energy and creates pneumatic energy; if your
organization has Lockout/Tagout policies, make sure to implement them after
connecting the Compressor to a power source.
The Compressor’s motor is 7.5 horsepower, 208-240 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz, 1 phase. BendPak
recommends using a 60 Amp breaker and 6 AWG (if the 60 Amp breaker trips frequently, switch to a
higher breaker until the tripping stops) .
Check the ID plate for additional information
.
