Fuel System Requirements
Electrical Power Supply
An adequate power supply and proper wiring are important factors for maximum performance and long
life of the dryer. Electrical service must be adequate enough to prevent low voltage damage to motors and
control circuits. (See electrical requirements
Transformers and Wiring Voltage Drop
Advise the service representative of the local power supplier that an additional load will be placed on the
line. Check on KVA rating of transformers, considering total horsepower load. The power supply wiring,
main switch equipment and transformers must provide adequate motor starting and operating voltage.
Voltage drop during motor starting should not exceed 14% of normal voltage, and after motor is running
at full speed it should be within 8% of normal voltage.
