Wiring a Margarita Machine

[iwire]

so at least you understand how it happens. :smile:

Yes I do, it happens very easily. :smile:

Alright how about just look at the nameplate and wire acordingly. Is that better??

It looks as if it comes with a factory cord with a 20 amp 230v plug, but the internals come set up for 120v.
I wonder if that 6 amp draw is at 230v or 115?
I would install receptacles to match the cord (to avoid changing all those cord caps) but you might have to change each unit to 230v internally.
Do you have a number for a manufacturer tech?

I was able to speak to a tech and he was quite helpful, he said that using 120V the unit draws 10A. Thanks for all the assistance, and the other interesting posts.

There's a disaster waiting to happen.

Unless each machine requires its own circuit anyway, wiring them for 240v would allow three per circuit, instead of one per 120v circuit

That would make a smoke flavored margarita, obviously.
