5.8 Power Hook-Up (380/400/415V 50Hz) – also applies for (460V
60Hz)
For satisfactory operation, be sure that your cutter is wired for the correct phase and voltage and has
adequate power. The correct electrical specifications for your machine are shown on the serial plate.
Check the machine serial plate before connecting the power. For future reference, transfer this
information to the front cover of this manual.
Watch Setup Voltage- Inadequate power to the cutter can be a major source of problems. Too
many machines on the same circuit will reduce the power to each machine. Inadequate voltage will
frequently cause overheating, loss of power, and in extreme cases, failure to operate. Test your
voltage when the shop is at actual working levels. Challenge recommends a dedicated line with a
lockable disconnect to provide adequate power for this machine.
CAUTION: SHOCK HAZARD! Always disconnect power at main
power panel before working on the cutter. Lock it out to prevent accidental power up. (See
Power Lockout Procedure page 5).
Important: You must have an adequate size circuit and heavy enough wiring for this machine. The
circuit size should be a minimum of 20% greater than the amperage rating on the machine
nameplate. If a wire is run over 75 feet (23 meters), the next size wire should be used. Check local
electrical codes.
Electrical Specifications for the Titan 265:
Voltage Amperage Circuit Size Wire Size
Three Ph.: 380/400/415V 50Hz 15 A
30 A
#10 AWG
460V 60Hz 11.5A 25 A #10 AWG
Check the incoming voltage – if it is different from the factory set 415V, the tap on the main
transformer must be changed to match the incoming voltage - see Figure 15, page 20, for the
procedure.
The following also applies for 460V 60Hz Hook-ups – use taps H4 and H1.
