G0449/G0450 37" Drum Sander
A fire may occur if your particular electrical
configuration does not comply with local and
state codes. The best way to ensure compli
-
ance is to check with your local municipality
or a qualified electrician.
Serious personal injury could occur if you
connect your machine to the power source
before you have completed the set up pro
-
cess. DO NOT connect the machine to the
power source until instructed to do so.
220V Pre-Wired
The Model G0450 is prewired for 220V 3-phase
operation, but can be rewired for 440V 3-phase
operation if needed.
Amperage Draw
The Model G0450 has a 15 HP motor that will
draw the following amps at 440V 3-phase:
Main Motor at 440V ...............................20 Amps
Feed Motor at 440V ............................0.65 Amps
Circuit Requirements
Only connect your machine to a circuit that meets
the requirements below. Always check to see if
the wires and circuit breaker in your circuit are
capable of handling the amperage draw from
your machine, as well as any other machines that
could be operating on the same circuit. If you are
unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
Minimum Circuit Requirement 440V ........30 Amp
Minimum Cord Requirements
A cord is not provided with your machine. For
440V 3-phase operation, use the following type
of cord (not to exceed 50 ft.):
Cord ............................................................4 wire
Gauge .................................................... 8 Gauge
G0450 at 440V Power Connection
Because of the high amperage draw from this
machine, we recommend that you hardwire it
directly to your circuit breaker and install a locking
shut-off lever (see
Figure 3) near the machine as
a way to quickly disconnect the power and pre
-
vent accidental starting.
Figure 3. A power disconnect is preferable to
high current plugs and receptacles.
When using a phase converter, the power from
the manufactured power leg (sometimes called
the wild wire) can fluctuate. Connect the manu
-
factured power leg to the L2 terminal to prevent
damage to the transformer. The wire from the L2
terminal can handle some fluctuation because it
goes directly to the motor. The power going to the
L1 and L3 terminals goes to the controls and must
be consistent to prevent damage.
