Calculating Melter Power Requirements

To evaluate the hose/gun power requirements
1. Identify all hose/gun pairs based on the hose/gun receptacle to which
they are connected.
2. Examine the identification tag or plate on each hose and gun and record
the wattage of each in Column A of Table A‐1. Enter a zero for any hose
or gun that is not installed.
3. Add the wattages of each hose/gun pair and place the sum in Column B
of Table A‐1.
4. Add the wattages of hose/gun pairs 1 and 2 and hose/gun pairs 3 and 4
and place the sum in Column C of Table A‐1.
5. Compare each of the wattages tabulated in Columns A, B, and C of Table
A‐1 with the associated maximum allowable wattages in TableA‐2.
6. Do one of the following:
If each of the wattages calculated in step 5 do not exceed the
associated maximum allowable wattages listed in Table A‐2, then the
power required by the hoses and guns is within acceptable limits.
If any of the wattages calculated in step 5 does exceed an associated
maximum allowable wattage listed in Table A‐2, then the
configuration or position of the hose/gun pairs must be rearranged,
shorter hoses must be used, or lower power guns must be used in
order to reduce the power requirement.
