Installing a Spaceman 6378-C single-phase soft serve machine in a building with a three-phase power supply is straightforward, thanks to the machine’s design, which caters to the simplicity and convenience of installation. Here’s how you can seamlessly integrate this efficient machine into your three-phase powered space.
Understanding the Spaceman 6378-C’s Requirements
The Spaceman 6378-C is designed for single-phase power input, which simplifies its integration into various electrical environments and can be used in locations with either single phase, or three-phase power. Even when the building has three phase power, the installation process remains uncomplicated due to the machine’s adaptable design. Any local electrician will be able to accommodate installing the correct receptacle and breaker for the machine. A step that needs to be done whether you are using a single or three phase machine.
Understanding Three Phase Power
Three-phase power consists of three hot wires, each of the three hot wires carries the same voltage. In the United States, for commercial buildings, the standard voltage for three-phase power is typically 208V. If you measure the voltage from any one of the three hot wires to neutral, you’ll get 120 volts, which is similar to standard single-phase power.
In single phase buildings, you have only one or two of these hot wires coming into the building.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Selecting the Phase: In a three-phase setup, you can tap into any one or two of the phases (hot wires) to supply the required single-phase power to the machine. The key is to use one phase and a neutral line to provide the appropriate voltage.
Circuit Breaker Installation: Install a dedicated circuit breaker that matches the Spaceman machine’s current specifications. This ensures safety and prevents overloading.
Wiring the Receptacle: Connect the proper receptacle to match the machine’s plug. Ensure the grounding is correctly done to provide additional safety and stability.
Verification Before Use: With a multimeter, verify that the voltage at the receptacle plug matches the specifications. This step is crucial to ensure safe and efficient operation.
Start Your Machine: Once the connections are verified, power up the machine and test its functionality to ensure it operates smoothly.
Why It’s Easy with Spaceman 6378-C
- No Complex Configuration: The Spaceman 6378-C’s design eliminates the need for complicated electrical modifications or the use of transformers, making it plug-and-play in various settings.
- Flexibility: The ability to connect to any single phase derived from a three-phase supply provides versatility and ease of installation in nearly any commercial space.
