![]() I see that some power tools vary from 110,115,220,230 voltage and this confuses me like crazy. Normal(standard) house hold electrical outlet is how many volts? I'm very confused about few things electrical. The drawing is an example if it needs a 20 amp branch circuit. Post what your purchasing and we can be more accurate. this if you use romex cable and cord and plug but you need to know the electrical requirements for the branch circuit for the particular unit to get things right. should plug right in.Īs for your question on a single phase 240 volt DC it will wire up like.below. They only make one 17" drill press (I just looked) it comes prewired 115 volts but double check. If it won't plug into a standard 120 volt outlet then it is wired for 240 volts. If it has a plug on the end of the power cord. You need to know how the motor is wired from the factory. Do I need to do something to this drillpress before I plug in and use it? or am I good to go after assembly?I'm not sure how much you know about electrical from your questions might want to get a few books or professional help before wiring any branch circuits. The Still City Drill press I got states 115/230V. The code is there for the safety of the homeowner and business owner. The code requirements vary from the national standards to local standards. When I built my shop, I did all the electrical to the local code and had it inspected. While not an electrician, I have worked with electronics since 1969. If you aren't comfortable or knowledgeable about electricity, a licensed electrician is really the way to handle such matters. You don't have to be too concerned about those subtle differences in most cases. The actual value your house outlets might measure might differ slightly.say 118vac instead of 120 vac because of slight resistances in the line or increased current loads on that particular phase. It's been my understanding that in earlier years, the voltage supplied by the power providers was 110 or 220.as the quality of electrical lines and transformers improved, the supplied voltage became 120 and 240 vac. one way for 120.another way for 240.You can refer to those instructions to see how you drill press is currently wired. Typically it will give a drawing and written instructions on how to wire the motor. David.typically in the owners manual it will tell you how the device or power tool was wired when it was shipped.
