What are the power requirements for semi-automatic pallet wrappers?
The power supply rating of almost all semi-automatic pallet wrapping machines is 110 / 120 VAC, 15 AMPS, 60 Hz. The power plug used is the same standard 120 VAC plug / receptacle found in your home and office.
The use of a standard plug is especially useful for turntable style wrappers which are fork lift portable. This allows the machine to be plugged in wherever it is convenient for your wrapping process in your warehouse or shop floor.
Please consider that for a brief moment, at the start of a wrap cycle, the machine could actually pull close to the 15 AMPS it is rated for.
We recommend that the wrapper should NOT SHARE a 15 AMP circuit with other high current demand devices (eg. air conditioner, space heater, hot plate, etc.).
For truly trouble free operation, the factory recommends dedicating a 20 AMP circuit to the machine, but your needs will dictate what is possible.
We also recommend avoiding the use of a long extension cord because the line voltage loss at 110/120 VAC over an extended distance can be significant and result in issues.
