What panel and feeder does new 480 V machinery (CNC, injection molding, compressor) need in Tijuana?

• Panel or branch breaker at 480 V with the protection the nameplate calls for.
• Feeder in tray or conduit from the distribution panel to the machine.
• Visible disconnect, labeling and equipment grounding.
• Control transformer at 220 or 120 V when the machine needs one.
• Drives or starters when the project includes them.
• Insulation and rotation tests before the vendor starts up the machine.

1. Receive the machine data sheet: voltage, full-load current, maximum protection and short-circuit rating.
2. Check the capacity available at the main switchboard and transformer.
3. Define the feeder route and the panel that supports it.
4. Install conduit, conductors, protection and disconnect.
5. Test insulation and grounding, then label.
6. Hand the energized machine to the vendor for start-up.

• Data sheet or nameplate of each machine.
• Floor plan with machine locations.
• Capacity available at the main switchboard.
• Delivery date of the equipment and of the vendor's technician.
• Electrical requirements from headquarters, if any.

Voltage, full-load current, maximum circuit protection and short-circuit rating define the conductor size, the protection and the panel. Machines imported with US specifications are adapted to NOM-001-SEDE. Large compressors and motors may also call for soft starters or drives. Related: industrial electrical installations.
