Power Requirements¶

3 HP Spindle / VFD Systems¶

• Input power: single-phase 200-240VAC, 50/60Hz
• Current draw (approx.): 8A at peak load (minimum 10A circuit recommended)

These spindles come pre-wired with an L6-30 plug, which mates with an L6-30 receptacle. This can be field retrofitted to a different 240VAC plug if necessary. Consult a qualified electrician for assistance with any changes to the stock power cable.

4 HP Spindle / VFD Systems¶

• Input power: single-phase 200-240VAC, 50/60Hz
• Current draw (approx.): 11A at peak load (minimum 15A circuit recommended)

These spindles come pre-wired with an L6-30 plug, which mates with an L6-30 receptacle. This can be field retrofitted to a different 240VAC plug if necessary. Consult a qualified electrician for assistance with any changes to the stock power cable.

8.7 HP Spindle / VFD Systems¶

• Input power: 3-phase 208VAC² or single-phase 200-240VAC¹, 50/60Hz
• Current draw (approx.): 27A at peak load (minimum 30A circuit recommended)

The system comes pre-wired with an L21-30 plug, which mates to an L21-30 receptacle. A 3-phase to single-phase plug adapter is included for use with an L6-30 receptacle.

AV70S Spindle / VFD Systems¶

Power Requirements

• Spindle Controller Input Power
  • Input power: 3-phase 208VAC² or single-phase 200-240VAC, 50/60Hz
  • Current draw (approx.): 28A at peak load (minimum 30A circuit recommended)
  • The system comes pre-wired with an L21-30 plug, which mates to an L21-30 receptacle. A 3-phase to single-phase plug adapter is included for use with an L6-30 receptacle.
• Spindle 24VDC Power Adapter
  • 100-240VAC input
  • NEMA 1-15P plug for standard North American wall outlets

Compressed Air Requirements

• AV70S Spindle
  • Supply Pressure: 95-115 PSI (105 PSI recommended)
  • Supply Pressure Connection: 1/4" Male Industrial Quick Disconnect
  • Minimum Air Flow: 2 SCFM @ 100 PSI³
  • Filtration: 40µm minimum

¹ Operating the 8.7 HP Spindle / VFD system on single-phase power will reduce the spindle's peak power to 6.4 HP.

² Three-phase input power must be a three-wire or four-wire Wye system. Three-phase 380-480VAC power must be stepped down to three-phase 200-240VAC (typically 208VAC).

³ The drawbar consumes 2-3 SCFM intermittently. Case pressure consumes approximately 2-3 SCFM continuously while the spindle is running. Case pressure is required if any coolant is used and is highly recommended when cutting abrasive materials (MDF, composites, foam). A minimum compressor and tank size recommendation is 2.4 SCFM @ 90 PSI, 125 PSI max pressure, 3 gallon tank. Increasing flow, max pressure, or tank size will reduce the duty cycle.
