As an OEM, Carousel USA is responsible for the installation of our equipment only and
cannot perform electrical work during our installation process.
A. Power and Control Requirements, Provided by Others.
MC3 Installation requires a minimum of three (3) conduits:
1. One (1) conduit for power to the control box.
2. One (1) conduit for power from the control box to the motor.
3. One (1) conduit for encoder signal from the control box to the motor.
4. Additional conduit(s) may be required for custom applications.
Electrician responsibilities includes the following tasks:
1. Mounting the MC3 enclosure to the wall.
2. Provide power to the control box, including penetration of enclosure. Typical
power requirements to the control box is a single-phase, 230 volts circuit, with
minimum ampacity of 8 amps. 2 wires + ground.
3. Provide conduit and wire to motor from control box. Typical motor
requirements are than 1.5HP motor, 3-phase, 230 volts, 4.2 amps. 3 wires +
ground.
4. Provide conduit and cable to motor for signal (encoder). Typical encoder cable
requirements include a five (4) conductor cable, minimum #18 AWG. Signal
characteristics is a 24VDC, 50mA Signal. A multiple conductor data cable has
been proven to provide best performance; shielding is typically not required
but may provide beneficial signal protection.
5. Fish the power wire from the enclosure to the turntable motor.
6. Land the power wires onto the terminal blocks or VFD in the control box.
7. Land the power wires onto the motor leads ensuring that the motor is wired
for the appropriate voltage operation.
8. Fish the signal cable from the MC3 enclosure to the gray plastic junction box in
the turntable pit. Supply 1/2" trade size cord grip as needed.
9. Land the signal wires into the MC3 enclosure and the junction box. The details
that follow, and/or our technician can help identify the appropriate positions.
