Electrical requirements
240V or 208V single-phase: 36A at 240V / 40A at 208V, 8,640W, NEMA 6-50. Olympic specifies a 50A breaker and #6, #4 if circuit longer than 40 ft copper wire. Also available wired 3-phase (24/27A, 30/40A breaker). Rule of thumb: a breaker of about 125% of the kiln's draw — roughly 50A for this model at its highest-amperage voltage. Always confirm the breaker, wire and receptacle with your electrician. Kilns shipping to CA, IL, CT, MN, ME, MA, NH, NY, RI and VT must be equipped with solid-state relays (priced at order).
