-6- G9983 15" Open-End Wide-Belt Sander
SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
220V Single-Phase
The Model G9983 features a 5 HP, 220V single-
phase motor. This motor will safely draw about 30
amps under load. The Model G9983 also features
a
1
⁄4 HP feed motor that draws approximately 1.8
amps under load. Total amperage draw for this
machine is approximately 32 amps under load.
Use a 35 amp circuit breaker for the Model
G9983. Make sure the wiring in your circuit is
rated to handle the amperage draw from your
machine. If frequent circuit failure occurs when
using the sander, contact our Service
Department. The sander must be connected to its
own dedicated circuit and should not share a cir-
cuit with any other machine. A standard 2-pole
breaker is necessary for use with the sander.
We recommend using a NEMA-style 6-50 plug
and outlet (similar to the one shown in Figure 1)
for the Model G9983. You may also “hard-wire”
the sander directly to your panel, provided you
place a disconnect near the machine. Check the
electrical codes in your area for specifics on
wiring requirements.
