PNEG-338 Portable Dryer Installation Manual

An adequate power supply and proper wiring are important factors for maximum performance and long 
life of the dryer. Electrical service must be adequate to prevent low voltage damage to motors and control 
circuits. 

. Power supply for single phase models must 

include a neutral wire.

Advise the service representative of the local power supplier that an additional load will be placed on the 
line. Check the KVA rating of transformers, considering total horsepower load. The power supply wiring, 
main switch equipment and transformers must provide adequate motor starting and operating voltage. 
Voltage drop during motor starting should not exceed 14% of normal voltage. After motor is running at full 
speed, it should be within 8% of normal voltage. Check electrical load information 

 for 

HP ratings and maximum amp loads.

All dryers are equipped with a power disconnect switch in the power box to permit total power shut down 
before opening the power box door, as required for inspection and service. The power disconnect switch 
is located on the power box door for quick shut down.

A Machine to Earth Ground Rod must be installed at the dryer. Place the ground rod that comes standard 
within eight feet of the dryer and attach it to the dryer control panel with at least a #6 solid, bare, copper 
ground wire and the clamp provided. The grounding rod located at the power pole will not provide 
adequate grounding for the dryer. Proper grounding will provide additional safety in case of any short and 
will ensure long life of all circuit boards, the SCR drive and the ignition system. The ground rod must be 
in accordance with local requirements.
