Beta Max electrical hoists are high energy and can lift large loads at high speeds
which requires a lot of AMPERAGE (water volume). Therefore, a lot of
continuous VOLTAGE (pressure) is required. As the load increases, more
AMPERAGE is needed. Beta Max hoists require more AMPERAGE than a simple
rotary saw or drill because of the extra work being performed.
NOTE: Beta Max portable hoists require 20 to 30 amperes for the 110V AC models
and 10 to 20 amperes for the 220V AC models.
Connectors
Beta Max hoists are supplied with interlocking plugs because they are safer and
more efficient conductors of electrical current. The hoists are also fitted with 20-
ampere or 30-ampere service due to the higher energy (amperage) requirements.
Beta Max suggests no less than 10 gauge (10/3 S.O.) for 110V AC models and 12
gauge (12/3) for 220V AC models. Heavier electrical cable is required for Beta
Max hoists and will allow a longer distance between the power source and hoist
without causing an excessive resistance to the current flow. A result of an increase
in resistance is the buildup of heat.
Voltage
There is a distinct difference between 110V AC power and 220V AC power. An electric
motor wired for 110V AC will not run if connected to a 220V AC circuit and vice versa.
This is true of all Beta Max portable hoists. Electric motors wired for 220V AC
have the advantage over 110V AC motors because they can use longer extension
cords due to less resistance. An added benefit for 220V AC motors is they require
less AMPERAGE to operate and, as a result, are able to run cooler and longer than
110V AC models.
CAUTION
Using excessively long electrical cable and/or incorrect wire gauge size will generate high
resistance, heat, and the potential for a fire hazard. Use only the correct length and gauge as
recommended by Beta Max.
