If you have the amperage and money available, I'd look hard at the 20 hp unit.? A wide belt needs it and nice to not worry if the compressor kicks in when running a 10 hp motor.? Dave

Taylor, yes they sell a quieter version. It¡¯s a $430 option. The sales guy was all but useless. He never offered up the option and only confirmed it when I asked. If it weren¡¯t for the search feature here, I¡¯d never have known to ask. Did you happen to
get any discounted pricing? Also, how do you turn it off? With a breaker or the optional on/off switch.
David, thanks for the detailed specs on the components you used. Seeing that you didn¡¯t use a breaker anywhere on the output side makes me wonder if our local code would approve it as well. Do you have any photos to share of the mounted PP and possibly one
of the distribution boxes? Sometimes seeing the finished job fills in the nuances that I may miss while planning. FYI, your diagram shows #4-6 wire, but your description says #6-8. I¡¯m thinking 6-8 is correct?
The PT series only has a 10 and 20HP version now. So I¡¯m going to have to think hard about what I realistically might add in the future. I have no doubts the 10HP would run the 45z shaper with ease.
