you should be certain:
1. The electrical characteristics of the service
branch match the requirements of the motor.
2. The service branch is equipped with wires of the
required gauge or size.
3. The branch circuit intended for the machine is
protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker
with rated amperage just slightly greater than the
full load current of the motor.
