CAUTION! Electrical Shock Hazard
A qualified electrician must perform all electrical work. Failure to do this
can affect a product’s operation and can result in personal injury.
If blower motor will not start:
• Proper wire size was not used. Rewire per local and national codes
• Motor is not wired correctly. Rewire, referring to motor wiring diagram
located on motor
• Unit is not wired for available voltage. Correct wiring for proper input
voltage
• Input circuit down. Check input to motor circuits for voltage on all leads
NOTE : A blower motor is easily overloaded when it is forced to handle too
much air. An insufficient air supply causes few, if any, problems. Simco-Ion
Dust Collectors are designed to make maximum use of the motor’s
horsepower but, they are not under powered. Any motor that indicates an
amperage draw in excess of 10% of the manufacturer’s recommendation on
the nameplate is overloaded. Overloading may be caused by one or more of
the conditions under “if blower motor will not start.”
If blower motor starts, but does not keep running:
• Incorrect starter heater elements are installed. Replace with proper heater
elements
• Slide gate or hopper exits are not closed properly. Close gate or exits
properly
• Insufficient supply voltage. Check the supply voltage to verify that it meets
the motor manufacturer’s requirements on the nameplate
• Insufficient air flow
• Fan rotating backwards. Change the fan rotation (for three phase only):
– Disconnect dust collector from electrical outlet
– Look at the rotation sticker on the fan housing for proper rotation
direction
– Change the motor rotation by interchanging any two supply leads (three
phase only). On single phase motors, the internal wiring will have to be
changed. Reference motor wiring diagram
– Reconnect dust collector to electrical outlet
