Electrical requirements
240V or 208V single-phase: 21A at 240V / 24A at 208V, 5,040W, NEMA 6-30. Olympic specifies a 30A breaker and #10, #8 if circuit longer than 40 ft copper wire. Rule of thumb: a breaker of about 125% of the kiln's draw — roughly 30A for this model at its highest-amperage voltage. Always confirm the breaker, wire and receptacle with your electrician.
