Electrical Input:
The P-1500 unit is built to operate from several voltages (not field interchangeable), typically
230 volts or 460 volts, 50/60 hertz, single-phase. Line current draw at rated output (1500
amps) is approximately 45 amperes at 230 volts and 23 amperes at 460 volts. (Consult “Data
Nameplate” on specific unit for correct operating voltage.).
To obtain full rated output the following two conditions must be met:
1. Thirty (30′) feet of 4/0 cable (in a single loop) attached to the eitherend connectors on the
front of the unit. One end of the cable will be connected to the “Common” and the other
end will be connected to either “HWDC” or “AC”.
2. The power supply amperage and voltage must be as stated (or better) on the P-1500
nameplate.
Note: Using less than 30 feet of 4/0 cable will cause the machines output to be greater than
design. This will cause excessive load draw on the incoming power circuit and will overheat
and damage machine components.
Operating Manual and
