6.4.Electrical Connection
The electrical connection of the delivered machine must be done by an authorized
electrician and in accordance to valid local regulations. The wiring made from factory,
and the electrical connection to be done at installation, is shown in the enclosed
electrical wiring diagram.
6.4.1. Supply Voltage
Check that the supply voltage to be connected corresponds to the specified voltage on the machine’s
serial number plate.
6.4.2. Mains Fuses
Check that the supply voltage for the delivered machine is fused protected as specified in section 3.2.
of this manual.
6.4.3. Main Electrical Safety Switch
A separate main electrical safety switch (circuit breaker) must be connected in the incoming power
line to the machine. The electrical safety switch is not included in standard delivery but is available as
an option from Disperator.
6.4.4. Cable Dimension
Use connection cable having 1.5mm² wires for machines having a rated current up to 14A. For
machines having a current rated above 14A, use 2.5mm² wires. The rated voltage and current is
specified on the machine’s serial number plate.
6.4.5. Cable Protection
All electrical cables must be protected against damage by being securely fastened, for
example to kitchen furniture or wall/bulkhead. If there is a risk that the cables can be
damaged, for example by passing trolleys, then the cables must be protected by a
flexible sleeve or conduit. The cables must never be kept on the floor/floor plate.
6.4.6. Earth Wire
a) The earth wire must be longer than the main voltage wires, when connecting to
the cable terminal block. This gives earth protection in case the voltage wires
become unfixed in the cable nipple, allowing them to be pulled from their
terminals.
b) The machine must not be connected via residual current device, RCD (also called ground fault
circuit breaker). Reason being that the machine contains 3-phase motor whose currents during
start-up are out of balance until the motor comes up to speed, why the RCD will trip. Note also
that when the machine's electrical connection is permanently installed through a wall / bulkhead
mounted safety breaker (see item 6.4.3. above), usually under current rules no RCD is required.
6.4.7. Direction of Rotation for the Disposer and the Pump
a) The disposer operates correctly irrespective of the motor’s rotational direction. It is therefore
irrelevant in which sequence the electrical phases are connected to the disposer motor.
IMPORTANT
b) However, the correct function of the GTS-processor pump is dependent on the
pump rotating in the correct direction, which is shown by a red arrow on the serial
number plate. In other words - seen from the pump motor drive side, its axis with
the rotor shall rotate counterclockwise. Check the pump rotation by only for a brief
moment start the GTS-processor. If the shaft of the rotor does not rotate counterclockwise,
change the sequence of the connection of the pump motor's three phases.
