Title: Red Chili Flash (3phase electrical question)
Post by: ericheartsu on June 01, 2014, 06:36:23 PM
I'm running electrical for my brand new Red Chili, and i'm wondering if it needs to be wired in a particular way? I just don't want to run the 3ph wires backwards!

I have a feeling for the flash it shouldn't matter, but i figured i'd check and see if anyone can tell me, before i turn it on!

Phasing only affects rotating equipment but if you have an older electrical system "Delta" they may be using a high or stinger leg. This could cause a potential problem, you would have to contact M&R for the hook up with a stinger leg.

A Delta system will read 120 on two of the legs to ground and 240 to ground on the third. Usually found in older industrial areas.

go ahead and turn it on. You should have no problem regardless of the phasing
The blower is single phase.

Second this as we have Delta 3-Phase in our shop.  When we wired our Interchange dryer we had to make sure that we did not put the stinger leg on one of the 3 spots because some of the parts drawing power from this connection were not rated for the higher voltage.  I would double check just to make sure.

Ours will be fine on a  Delta circuit
