Not having all the applicable information organized can delay the process; which in turn, delays when you can begin your job. Every bit of time wasted is taking money out of your business and your pocket. Secondly, a lot of people aren’t always sure of exactly what information is needed for the electrician. In efforts to help make this easier, our engineers have put together an **Equipment Electrical Specification Sheet** (see bottom of page) that you can download or print off. This sheet will help answer most, if not all, of the basic questions the electrician will ask about the piece of equipment you will be using, and organize it in an easy to read format. **There are 4 sections to this document:** ## **SECTION 1: GENERAL INFORMATION** This section refers specifically to the power requirements for the machine you’ll be using. In addition to the *Model* and *Manufacturer *you’ll need to figure out the *Voltage, Current, Phase*, and *Power Factor* of the machine. You should be able to find this information on the machine nameplate.![Screen Shot 2017-08-25 at 12.54.10 PM.png](https://blog.bartellglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-25%20at%2012.54.10%20PM.png?width=633&name=Screen%20Shot%202017-08-25%20at%2012.54.10%20PM.png)   ## **SECTION 2: INPUT CONNECTOR INFORMATION** This section will help you to figure out the limits of the connector.

The electrician will need to know the specifications of the output connector. (If you're unsure of where to find this information, click [HERE](https://blog.bartellglobal.com/reading-and-understanding-connectors-and-nameplates)) ![Screen Shot 2017-08-25 at 12.54.36 PM.png](https://blog.bartellglobal.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202017-08-25%20at%2012.54.36%20PM.png?width=599&name=Screen%20Shot%202017-08-25%20at%2012.54.36%20PM.png) ## **SECTION 4: REFERENCE INFORMATION** This section offers two web page links of resources available on our website, to help fill out the first three sections.
