Just bought wells fyer model # F-67

There is just too much resistance in that cord. Get a 12 gage extension cord. And yes I think you burned out the generator due to severely overloading it.

There are other points to consider before wiring in the machine. is it a topps model? 2 boilers?
singer boiler with heat exchange unit. are you wanting single phase 13 amp 22amp or 3 phase.?
you can email me direct on [email protected]

This sounds like it could be a 3 phase unit, I am not familiar with the model number.

Hi there.
You can download Wells F67 electric fryer at http://www.wells-bloomfield.com, it contains conversion of wiring from single phase to three phase, just click the owner's manual on Service and Support page.
Regards.

No. You have to find out if you have 3 phase or single phase power. If this is a new unit you will find a wiring diagram inside the front cover. 3 phase power has 3 "hot" wires. Single phase has 2 "hot" wires. There is a big difference when you hook it up wrong. I don't know if this is a new installation or if you are replacing an old one. The terminals are numbered for 3 phase. If you look in your breaker box, 3 phase 208 will haven a breaker with 3 spaces hooked together by one bar. Single phase will have two spaces hooked together by a bar. So if the breaker kicks out it will flip all 3 space on 3 phase or 2 spaces on single phase. If you already have wires to the location of the booster heater, you may have to use single phase if that is all that is at that location. If you have single phase power you will have to look at the wiring diagram and you will see the terminal block represented for both single and 3 phase. Normally running from the terminal block will be six wires marked 1 through 6. The wireing diagram will say something like "for single phase put 1,3,5 on terminal 1 and 2,4,6 on terminal 3. Leave terminal 2 out all together. Of course at this point your 2 hot wires will go to terminal 1 and 3. There are other considerations as well. With 3 phase the circuit wires will be smaller gauge and may not carry the current you need for single phase. This is a booster heater. You need to hook up your hot water line to go into the heater and the boosted hot water to your appliance. It will not work to heat your water for other purposes. It is meant to take 140 degree water and boost it to 190 degrees. Good luck, hope this helps

Hi, yes that is the correct cord all right. If you'll notice the new cord has 2 hot (red & black) a neutral (white) and ground/earth (green) wires. In case you are not sure how to connect I've attached a photo which shows the correct way. If my attachment didn't work, check out you-tube and type in "4 wire dryer hook up". Thanks for visiting "fixya" and good luck macmarkus :) IMG_3336.JPG

Is it a single phase motor model 22-680, or a three phase motor model 22-681. The single phase motor will have a 3 prong outlet where the blades are in tandem and the ground is longer than the blades so it is grounded before electricity gets to the planer. A three phase motor will have to be wired directly to your house electricity without a power cord. You will have to get an electrician to hook that up so you are within the building codes of your area.

You can get a 4 prong dryer plug from home depot and wire it. I think they cost about $15 or so. Just remove the old cord and wire the new one the same way that the old cord had been wired, black to black, white to white, and red to red. Ground the green wire to a grounded screw inside your switch box. Turn your breaker off before you plug in the new cord just in case you wired it incorrectly. Then turn the breaker back on. This way the breaker will trip immediately and you will not damage anything, MAINLY YOURSELF. 220v is nothing to sneeze at. And if you feel at all uncomfortable doing this you should probably get someone qualified to rewire it. Be safe.

Hello. Here is the link to your units manual, page 3, 7, and 13 tell most of the specs, page 13 has a part number, and specifications for the proper cord.

Lowes probably does not have that high an amperage plug first of all, find an electrical supply house, or have an electrician get it and install it for you. You may actually have a 3 phase unit, but it does not specify that unit as being set for 3 phase, older units from a certain restaurant were though. If you want to find the terminal block, remove the pot, and then remove the inside rear cover, once removed you should find the terminal block inside, your wiring for the cord should go here ( a wiring diagram ).

Hope this helped, and thank you.
If you need more help, ask me.

i had an electrician look at it. he told me the unit is wire for 3 phase, my plug is a single phase. he rewire the unit and it working good. problem solve.

I did no know this was a subscription service when I started. I will not need your service any further.
