ELECTRICAL
DO NOT work on your electrical system
if you are unsure about electrical
codes and wiring! Seek assistance from
a qualified electrician. Ignoring this
warning can cause electrocution, fire,
or machine damage.
W1762 220V 3-Phase
Operation
The Model W1762 is prewired for 220V 3-phase opera-
tion, but may be rewired for 440V 3-phase operation.
We recommend connecting this machine to a dedicated
circuit with a verified ground, using the circuit size given
below. Never replace a circuit breaker with one of higher
amperage without consulting a qualified electrician to
ensure compliance with wiring codes. This machine must
be connected to a grounded circuit!
If you are unsure about the wiring codes in your area
or you plan to connect your machine to a shared cir
-
cuit, you may create a fire or circuit overload hazard—
consult a qualified electrician to reduce this risk.

W1762 440V 3-Phase
Operation
If rewired to 440V operation, the Model W1762 must be
hardwired to a locking shutoff switch by a qualified elec
-
trician. Hardwiring involves a permanent installation with
conduit runs that can only be accomplished safely by a
qualified electrician. As always, observe all applicable
electrical codes when connecting this machine to power.

Phase Converter
The power from the manufactured power leg (wild wire)
of a phase converter fluctuates, which may damage elec
-
trical components if connected to the wrong power termi
-
nal. If you must use a phase converter for 3-phase power,
ONLY connect the "wild wire" to the L3 terminal
.
The wire going to the L3 terminal can handle some fluc
-
tuation because it goes directly to the motor. The power
going to the L1 and L2
terminals goes to the transformer
and must be consistent to prevent damage.
The machine must be properly set up before it is
safe to operate. DO NOT connect this machine to the
power source until instructed to do so in the "Test
Run" portion of this manual.

Rewiring to 440V
Rewiring your Model W1762 to 440V
requires you to rewire the motor, switch
the transformer fuse from 220V to 440V,
and change the amperage dial of the ther
-
mal overload relay from 22 to 11 Amps.
