4 Electrical Supply
4.1 Electrical connections
A suitable single phase a.c. electrical supply with earth (ground) will be
necessary. The supply may be live to neutral non reversible, live to neutral
reversible or live to live. The furnace must be connected to the electrical supply
for which it was ordered. Details of the voltage, current and frequency required
are stated on the furnace plate attached to the furnace. The supply point must
be within reach of the operator and must incorporate either an isolating switch
or a quickly removable plug.
If the furnace is supplied with a mains cable fitted then it may be wired directly to
an isolator or fitted with a line plug. Supply rated fuses will be internally fitted.
If the furnace is supplied without a mains cable, the specification for suitable
cable for 220/240V operation is:
300/500 volt, PVC insulated 3 core cable. Each core 4mm ² for 110/120V
operation.
300/500 volt, PVC insulated 3 core cable. Each core 2.5mm ² for 220/240V
operation.
The colour code for the cable is:
Brown lead
Live
Blue lead
Neutral
Green Yellow lead
Earth (ground)
As no internal supply rated fuses are fitted, a permanent connection to an
appropriately fused and isolated supply must be made to the internal terminals
after temporary removal of the furnace panel.
4.2 Fuses
Refer to the circuit diagram, Fig. 2.
F1 Internal supply fuses are only fitted if a mains cable is fitted. The supply to
the furnace should be fused to the same rating.
110/120V
40 amp fuse
220/240V
25 amp fuse
F2 Instrument circuit fuses 32mm x 5mm glass, 2 amp
F3 Heat light fuses
32mm x 5mm glass, 2 amp
Not fitted for 220/240V operation
Fitted for 110/120V operation
4.3 Earth leakage
Warning
It is recommended that this furnace is not used in conjunction with an
earth leakage trip switch. At elevated temperatures all ceramic materials
become slightly conductive. This may mean that at temperatures
above 1000°C a leakage current in excess of 30 milliamps is present.
This will cause an earth leakage trip switch to activate.
