3. 230 VOLT SINgLE PHASE OPERATION
The motor supplied with your machine is a dual voltage,
115/230 volt motor. It is shipped ready-to-run for 115
volt operation. However, it can be converted for 230 volt
operation.
A qualified electrician should do the conversion, or the
machine can be taken to an Authorized Delta Service
Center. When completed, the machine must conform to the
National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances.
The machine is converted by re-wiring the motor for 230
volts, installing a 230 volt plug on the power supply cord
and replacing the switch (if necessary) with one that is rated
for 230 volt operation.
Be sure the 230 volt plug is only used in an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug illustrated in Fig. C. No
adapter should be used with the 230 volt plug.
In all cases, make certain that the
receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you
are not sure, have a qualified electrician check the
receptacle.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire
extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s
plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D-1 or D-2, shows
the correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
