13.3 Electrical Power Connection
Never use extension cords to provide power to your Nitrox system. The system
must be properly wired according to national and local electrical codes by a
qualified electrician. Improper wiring may lead to fires, which can cause serious
personal injury or death.
Prior to making the electrical power connection, check all system specifications provided in this
manual. When working on the Nitrox System the main breaker at the power source must be “locked
out” in the Off position. The Nitrox System has electrical protection for the Compressor Motor and
Membrane System Heater located inside the motor starter compartment.
Amperage Load for System
♦
Approximately 95 amps for 230 V three-phase service
♦
Approximately 50-55 amps for 400-460 V three-phase
service
Compressor Rotation Check
Always turn on (bump) starter for both LP and HP Compressors and run motor very briefly to check
for proper direction of rotation (
see arrow on belt guard and flywheel
).
Operation in reverse direction for extended periods of time will cause a Reciprocating
Compressor to run hot and perform poorly and may cause permanent damage. Reverse
rotation for a rotary screw compressor for even a short period of time will cause damage.
