Introduction

Understanding the electrical requirements of your hydraulic oil press is crucial for safe and efficient operation.

Basic Electrical Requirements

Voltage Specifications

  • 220V Single Phase (common in many countries)
  • 380V Three Phase (industrial standard)
  • 415V Three Phase (some regions)
  • Frequency: 50Hz or 60Hz
  • Voltage can be customized at no extra charge

Power Consumption

  • Motor Power: All Haonuo models: 2.2 KW
  • Idle: 0.5-1.0 KW
  • Pressing: 1.5-2.2 KW
  • Peak: Up to 3.0 KW (during pressure build-up)

Current Requirements

  • Single Phase (220V): Running 10-15 A, Starting 20-30 A
  • Three Phase (380V): Running 5-8 A, Starting 10-15 A
  • Recommended Circuit Breaker: Single phase 30 A, Three phase 16 A per phase

Generator Requirements

Generator Capacity

ModelSingle PhaseThree Phase
HN3255 kVA5 kVA
HN3555.5 kVA5.5 kVA
HN4265.5 kVA5.5 kVA
HN4805.5 kVA5.5 kVA
HN5007 kVA7 kVA

Safety Margin

  • Add 20-30% for starting current
  • Consider other equipment on the same circuit
  • Account for voltage drops
  • HN325/HN355: 6-7 kVA
  • HN426/HN480: 7-8 kVA
  • HN500: 8-10 kVA

Generator Selection Criteria

  1. Type: Diesel (most common), Gasoline, Solar
  2. Quality: Reputable brands, inverter-type recommended
  3. Features: Voltage regulation, overload protection, automatic start/stop

Power Supply Configuration

Grid Connection

Single Phase Connection: L1 -> Circuit Breaker -> Motor N -> Motor PE -> Equipment Frame

Three Phase Connection: L1, L2, L3 -> Circuit Breaker -> Motor N -> Control Panel PE -> Equipment Frame

Wiring Requirements

10m2.5 mm22.5 mm2
20m4 mm22.5 mm2
30m6 mm24 mm2
50m10 mm26 mm2

Control Panel Components

  • Main switch
  • Circuit breakers
  • Motor starter
  • Control buttons
  • Emergency stop
  • Indicator lights

Safety Considerations

Electrical Safety

  • Wear insulated gloves
  • Use insulated tools
  • Follow lockout/tagout procedures

Voltage Fluctuations

  • Low voltage: Motor overheating, reduced performance
  • High voltage: Motor damage, component failure
  • Solutions: Voltage stabilizer, surge protector

Lightning Protection

  • Lightning rod installation
  • Surge protection devices
  • Grounding system

Backup Power Solutions

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)

  • Applications: Control panel backup, emergency shutdown
  • Sizing: 500-1000 VA typically sufficient

Solar Power Systems

  • Applications: Off-grid locations, sustainable operations
  • Considerations: Solar panel sizing, battery storage, backup generator recommended

Energy Efficiency Tips

Power Management

  • Run during off-peak hours if possible
  • Batch processing to reduce startup cycles

Cost Calculation

  • Energy Cost per Day = (Power Consumption x Hours x Rate) / 1000
  • Example: 2.0 KW x 8 hours x local rate/KWh
