G0524 Rip Saw
The following list outlines the electrical phase and
voltage required to operate the rip saw, as well as
the amperage draw of the motors:
Pre-Wired For 220V, 3-Phase
15 HP Main Motor .................................37 Amps
2 HP Feed Motor .....................................6 Amps
Rewired For 440V, 3-Phase
15 HP Main Motor ..............................18.5 Amps
2 HP Feed Motor .....................................3 Amps
Always check to see if the wires 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.
If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regu
-
larly, your machine may be operating on a cir
-
cuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity.
However, if an unusual amperage draw does not
exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a
qualified electrician.

Use the following guidelines when choosing a
circuit breaker (circuit breakers rated any higher
are not adequate to protect the circuit):
220V 3-Phase ............................ 45 Amp, 3 Pole
440V 3-Phase ............................. 25 Amp, 3 Pole
Because of the high amperage draw from this
machine, we recommend that you hardwire it
directly to your circuit breaker and install a lock
-
ing shut-off lever (Figure 1) near the machine as
a way to quickly disconnect the power.
