Motor Control
It is your responsibility to contact a qualified
electrician and assure that the electrical installation is
adequate and in conformance with all national and local
codes and ordinances. The metal capacitor shell must
be grounded.
Determine the correct overload setting required to
protect the motor (see motor starter manufacturerʼs
recommendations). Select fuses, motor protective
switches or thermal protective switches to provide
protection. Fuses act as short circuit protection for the
motor, not as protection against overload. Incoming line
fuses must be able to withstand the motorʼs starting
current. Motor starters with thermal magnetic overload
or circuit breakers protect motor from overload or
reduced voltage conditions.
The wiring diagram supplied with the product provides
required electrical information. Check that power
source is correct to properly operate the dual-voltage
motors.
