115VAC - unfamilar plug on industrial vibrator

[Icestation]

I recently purchased an industrial vibrator from a company called Vibco in the US - The model of vibrator is SCR-100. It has this variable speed control box wired to it. Unfortunately, I'm not familar with the plug and need to know what type of socket it goes into. The paperwork says the item is single phase and 50/60 Hz with a power input of 115VAC and can simply be plugged into a grounded circuit. I was expecting to be able to plug straight into a normal plug socket but the pins are different. Do I need an adaptor?

My company is based in the UK.

as a domestic electrician i think an industrial one would be too big for me.

I'm sure a man of your calibre would be able to cope

Do you have a picture of said plug?
Remember it should be rcd protected if it's used in a damp location.

I you look on the Vibco web site you will see they make an SCR-100-230V model. Get it swapped!

If it is from USA it should be a GFI he use's to be compatabile

What new information, are you going to supply the O/P that hasn't already been given to him via the previous posts on this thread???


As i see it, he has just two choices to make.


1/. Buy a suitably rated 120V/240V TX.


2/. Send his unsuitable 115V model back, to be exchanged with the suitable 230V model.

When using and Industrial Vibrator, it is always good practice to ensure you have rubber protection when handling exposed parts and that you use appropriate bondage. Some Industrial Vibrators are best used in conjunction with a tranny.

Pity the OP didn’t ask his question in the industrial / commercial section. He’s now probably classified this site as a waste of time!

Mr serious, for gods sake have a laugh or are the industrial section members beyond that? The OP as you put it maybe has a sense of humour
