Electrical requirements
240V or 208V single-phase: 48A at 240V / 55A at 208V, 11,520W, NEMA 6-50 / Direct wired. Olympic specifies a 60/70A breaker (240V/208V) and #6, #4 if circuit longer than 40 ft copper wire. Also available wired 3-phase (32/36A, 40/50A breaker). Rule of thumb: a breaker of about 125% of the kiln's draw — roughly 70A for this model at its highest-amperage voltage. Always confirm the breaker, wire and receptacle with your electrician.
