Electrical requirements
240V or 208V single-phase: 26.25A at 240V / 30A at 208V, 6,300W, NEMA 6-50. Olympic specifies a 40A breaker and #8, #6 if circuit longer than 40 ft copper wire. Rule of thumb: a breaker of about 125% of the kiln's draw — roughly 40A for this model at its highest-amperage voltage. Always confirm the breaker, wire and receptacle with your electrician.
