[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 3954071, member: 14646"] Won't go into great details but some background. I bought my wife an Expensive Factory Refurbished Commercial Precor 885 Treadmill. Would couldnt hook it up for about 5 months due to our moved etc. Now that we are in our new place we are having a terrible time getting it going. It's still under warranty but have had three service tech come out to Bristow to trouble shoot. They've been throwing a ton of different parts at it and nothing. The company has been good to deal with so far but my patience is getting short. It seems like there is a dispute with the type of power that this treadmill runs off. I know very little about electricity and know a lot of you fellas here know a metric crap ton. Here's the deal. THe company is telling me, with an emailed screen shot that it is powered by a "Standard 115V ( Nema 5-20, Dedicated 20A). The pics I took of the motor for the treadmill, the motor for the incline feature and pic of the circuit breaker seem to show a different power requirement. THe cord is even a 220V style pronged plug. Our electician who's helping us said b the specs on the motors and breakers this should be a 220V plug to power the unit. But he said the breaker on the machine is wrong for the motor. I wasn't here and this is through my wife. The pic of the Motor tells me it's a 220 V (208-230V) and a 3 Phase motor. The rest on the Motor sticker I don't understand. The next pic is of the black motor that powers the incline/decline function show to be a 250V motor and the pic of the silver breaker seems to be a single phase 250V 16 amp motor (I don't understand the wiring diagram on the breaker). My electrician seems to think this treadmill needs the 220V power/plug that he ran but is saying that the beraker is incorrect and is for a 115V system. I really don't know. For those that are electricians, how would this unit be powered if you were running the power from your homes breaker box to the plug outlet? What has me stumped is the bigger Lesson motor is stating 3 phase power. See if this works........ calling [USER=5412]@dennishoddy[/USER] and other electrical experts that know this stuff.
