The Rated Input Current should be used for the determination of cable size & supply requirements.

  Motor  start  fuses  or  thermal circuit breakers are  recommended for  this application. Check local 

requirements for your situation in this regard.

Due to variations that can occur in manufactured products, claimed performance, voltages, ratings, all capacities, measure-               

ments, dimensions and weights quoted are approximate only.  Achievable capacities and ratings in use and operation will de- 

pend upon correct installation, use, applications, maintenance and service.
