30 0 0 4 6The wire sizes recommended in the above table aresuitable for the compressor unit. If other electrical equipment isconnected to the same circuit, the total electrical load must beconsidered in selecting the proper wire sizes. A burned outmotor due to low voltage may result unless it is properlyprotected.Before wiring the compressor to the power supply, theelectrical rating of the motor, as shown on the motor nameplate,must be checked against the electrical supply.If they are notthe same, do not connect the motor.It is important that the wire used be the proper size andall connections secured mechanically and electrically.Thesize of the wire shown in the table above is a safe guide.larger wire will probably be necessary and your electricalcontractor or local electric company should be consulted forrecommendations.The use of too small wire results in sluggish operation,unnecessary tripping of the overload relays or blown fuses.FUSESFuse failure usually results from the use of fuses of insufficient capacity. If fuses are the correct size and still fail,check for conditions that cause local heating, such as bent, weakor corroded fuse clips. Refer to the table below forrecommendations on the proper fuse size to be used. Also referto the regulations of the National Electrical Code andrequirements of the local code.DUAL ELEMENT FUSE SIZE-60HERTZUL CLASS RK-5 600VVOLTAGEMOTORTHREE PHASEHORSEPOWER200 230 460 57510 40 35 17.5 1215 70 50 35 2020 75 70 35 3525 90 80 40 3530 110 100 70 40DUAL ELEMENT FUSE SIZE-60HERTZUL CLASS RK-5 600VVOLTAGEMOTORTHREE PHASEHORSEPOWER190 220 380 44010 45 35 25 17.515 60 50 30 2520 80 70 40 3025 100 80 50 4030 125 100 60 50MAGNETIC STARTER(See Electrical Diagrams On Page 24).This compressor must be equipped , with a magneticstarter Note-that the Pressure Switch, the Oil Level Switch andtheOn-Off Switch are wired to the operating coil of the magnetic starter and serves to interrupt current flow to the motor.All starters must include thermal overload protectionto prevent possible motor damage from overloading. Thesestarters are furnished with the manufacturer’s ;instructions forinstallation. Ingersoll-Rand cannot accept responsibility fordamages arising from failure to provide adequate motorprotection.Duplex Models may be equipped with alternatingcontrol circuits for equalizing operation of both compressorsStep 6.COMPRESSOR STARTUPDo not connect the compressor piping to your systemat this time.(A)Fill the crankcase to the proper level with the correctgrade of lubricating oil. Use only petroleum based oilfor the initial start-up. (See Page 11 for LubricationSpecifications ) Tighten the oil plug. HAND TIGHTENONLY(B)Check compressor rotation by flicking "Start-Stop’switch. Rotation is shown by arrow on belt guardback. If rotation is incorrect, interchange two of thethree leads on the three phase motors.(C)Prime the condensate trap if supplied on yourcompressor. (See Page 18 for Priming instructions Afloor drain should be provided in a nearby location forcondensate drainage. A floor drain is desirablewhether the compressor is equipped with anautomatic condensate trap or not. All compressorswill have water condensate in the air receiver.Your compressor should now be ready for the initialstartup and checks. Close the service valve and start thecompressor.Step 7.PRESSURE REGULATIONAllow the air receiver to build up to pressure for whichyou ordered the machine. At this pressure, the pressureswitch should cause the unit to stop. Open the service valveand/or drain valve to let pressure in the receiver drop. Note-the pressure at which the compressor starts/reloads. If theunit does not Start and Stop/Load and Unload at the correctpressure, you may need to adjust, the PressureSwitch/Auxiliary Valve. (See section III. Regulation, ifadjustments are necessary).Run the compressor for about 10 minutes by bleedingair from the receiver to let the unit warm up and observe forexcess vibration or any unusual noise. While the compressoris running, pull ring on all safety valves to be sure they relieveand reset properly Do this several times. Retorque all headbolts to 75 Ft Lbs. (10.4 kg/meters).IF YOUR COMPRESSOR DOES NOTOPERATE PROPERLY, SHUT-DOWNIMMEDIATELY, AND CALL YOUR LOCALINGERSOLL-RAND DISTRIBUTOR.Page 3-832
