LOCATIONS USING 60 HZ POWER
The following power requirements and instructions are for North America, Japan, and
locations using 60 Hz power. Refer to “Power Requirements and Installation—
Excluding North America and Japan” on page D-6 for all other locations.
The model 200ip/250ip dynamometer requires a dedicated 240VAC single phase
power outlet rated for 30A for proper operation. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in personal injury or damage to the dyno. Connecting
the dyno to the incorrect voltage will void the dyno warranty. Contact Dynojet with
any questions.
The model 200ip/250ip dynamometer requires a dedicated wall receptacle which
must be wired for operation and is included with the dyno or may be shipped in
advanced in a separate package. The dyno is equipped with a ten foot power cord
with a twist lock plug pre-wired on the end. The power cord is located at the front of
the dyno, but is shipped inside of the dyno. Refer to Figure 1-1 for the location of the
power cord and page 1-23 for instructions on routing the power cord.
The dedicated wall receptacle is a twist lock four wire grounded 30A NEMA L14-30
type and must be wired in accordance with local building codes and requirements.
Installation may require a licensed electrician and must conform to UL and NEC safety
standards.
Note: If you are installing your dyno in North American or Japan and the dyno is
not equipped with twist lock four wire grounded plug, contact Dynojet before
attempting to connect the dyno.
Local and national electrical codes require a grounded receptacle box.
• This circuit should have a dedicated 30A double pole circuit breaker.
• The dyno should be the only device connected to this circuit.
• It may be necessary to install a delayed trip breaker due to the inrush current
drawn by the high pressure blowers.
INSTALLING THE WALL RECEPTACLE
The wall receptacle is included with your dyno and is shipped in a box in the center of
your dyno or may be shipped in advance in a separate package.
The wall receptacle is a single phase 240 volt 30A dedicated circuit with a neutral
connection and a ground. The neutral connection is required to split the 240 volt into
two 120 volt connections internal to the dyno.
The cable carrying the power to this receptacle should be ten gauge or larger. Check
with local building codes for the correct size.
1 Connect one of the 240V legs to the X terminal (gold colored screw).
2 Connect the other 240V leg to the Y terminal (gold colored screw).
3 Connect the neutral conductor to the W or WH terminal (silver screw).
4 Connect the ground conductor to the green grounding screw.
