single-phase machine
What we call a single-phase machine must be connected to P-N-E (single Phase + N Earth) or
2P-E (split Phase + Earth) power mains, see Figure 4. Note that the 2P-E configuration does NOT
make use of the neutral wire of the electric mains. For peak power, see Table 2. The tension between
the phase and neutral (P-N-E power) or the tension between the two phases (2P-E power) should be
220-240Vac.
Note that with single-
phase peak current in the mains cable and the locations’ wiring is a lot higher
than with 3-phase power.
Figure 4. At left P-N-E, at right 2P-N-E. The machine can make use of L1 and L2 plus E (without N) of
the right electric mains configuration. Peak current is 27.5-34.7A.
3-phase / single phase conversion
The machine will be prepared in the factory for connection to either 3P-N-E or P-N-E/2P-E power and
will show respectively 3N~400V or ~230V on the identification tag.
Conversion is possible but requires replacement parts. Replacement parts and instruction for the
conversion can be obtained at:
Note!
National rules/regulations may apply when the appliance is connected to the electric mains.
