SGB Batch Blender with Mitsubishi Controller 
assemblies. 
 
4-5  Electrical Installation 
 
The standard Sterling SGB blending system is designed to operate on 120/1/60
 
supply voltage
 
(220/1/50 CE models are also available). The current requirements 
vary with the blender’s size and throughput rating. For exact current requirements, 
check the blender serial number tag, located on the rear plate of the mixer 
section. 
 
If a step down transformer was provided, it should never be used to power 
anything other than the blender. Loading equipment, etc. must be powered by 
another power source. As well as possibly overloading the transformer, the 
additional equipment may induce power line noise that may affect the operation of 
the blending system. 
 
The transformer will be mounted and wired by the customer or your installer.  If 
company or local codes require fusing or disconnects, these items must be 
supplied, wired, and mounted by the customer. 
 
Each Sterling blending system MUST be connected to a separate source of 
power. Do not connect other electrical equipment, especially self-contained 
hopper loaders, on the same line as the blending system. 
 
Ensure that the power entrance location on the blender panel remains 
unchanged. Make sure that the proper size wire and proper wire routing 
techniques are used when installing the supply wiring to the control panel. Care 
must be taken to ensure that the supply wiring does not interfere with the low 
voltage DC wiring.  
 
 
The blender is equipped with a plug that functions as the disconnect device.  The 
mating receptacle must be installed no higher than 5’ feet (1.6 m) above the floor.  
Make sure your installation conforms to your regional electrical standards.
