5.2.2 Connection to 190/230 vac Power
An autotransformer ( Figure 5.1 ) is required to allow operation on nominal 230 volt power. It is fitted with a 230 vac
cable and a receptacle to accept the standard 460 vac power plug. The 230 volt cable is black in color while the
460 volt cable is yellow. The transformer may also be equipped with a circuit breaker (CB-2). The transformer is a
step up transformer that will provide 380/460 vac, 3-phase, 50/60 hertz power to the unit when the 230 vac power
cable is connected to a 190/230 vac, 3-phase power source.
