Electrical requirements
240V or 208V single-phase: Olympic specifies a 70 (208V) / 60 (240V); 3-phase 50 / 40 A breaker, Direct wired (NEMA 6-50 option at 240V 1-ph), and #4 (#2 over 40 ft) copper wire. 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. Kilns shipping to CA, IL, CT, MN, ME, MA, NH, NY, RI and VT must be equipped with solid-state relays (priced at order).
