How do you put a 400 V machine into operation?

All 400 V machines must always be connected with 3 phases and a ground connection. A neutral conductor must also be plugged in whether the wiring is 4-wire or 5-wire.

The main reason for this recommendation is that 400 V motors that only operate in 2 phases tend to heat up very quickly, thus activating the overload protection or outright stop working.

Some equipment that works with this voltage, for example, are log chippers.

What should I keep in mind when using a plate compactor?

One of the first things to check before starting a plate compactor engine is the oil level. The engine is equipped with a safety device that measures this level, so it will not start if it is too low. It has to be refilled until it can be seen in the fill opening of the thread.

To ensure that the engine works correctly and for the necessary time, it is necessary to make sure that the air filter is clean. It is normal for it to get dirty quickly if you work in very dry and dusty environments, so the engine will receive little air. You also have to make sure that the fuel tap is fully open.

What to check before using a generator?

Before starting a generator, it is essential to check the nominal power of the consumers, that is, the data on the nameplate Watt or KW to be connected, as well as to plan the reserves.

In the case of inductive consumers, such as pumps, saws or drills, the power can be increased considerably during start-up, so that it activates the generator overload protection, something especially important if it is at the limit expected power.
