• Jupiter J2900 Series (J2918, J2927, J2936, J2945) kilns are available with 480 volt, 3 phase inputs.
  

PRICES

• All prices get added to the cost of other options
  
• The price of the 480-volt option is $1250. This gets added to all other options.
  
• If a back up Dawson is ordered on an automatic 480 volt kiln the price for such a back up is as follows: Two section kiln: $475, Three section kiln: $525, Four section kiln: $580, Five section kiln: $650, Six section kiln (5 sections with powered bottom): $725.
  
• An optional fused disconnect switch on the control panel will add $625 to the cost of the system.
  

DELIVERY
The typical minimum time to make this option is 4 weeks

TECHNICAL DETAILS

• Elements are 277-volt special elements. This means the voltage potential in the kiln is much safer than it would be if the elements were running at 480 volts.
  
  
• Elements are wired in a Star (Wye) Configuration to get 277 volts at the elements.
  
• Power supply does not require a neutral (See wiring diagram on back for typical hook up information).
  
  
• Watts are the same as 240-volt kilns. Amperage goes down.
  
  
• The control panel is a special heavy-duty industrial NEMA 1 control panel. The panel is floor standing on an included stand. It typically sits on the right side of the kiln.
  
  
• Each kiln section is separately branch fused.
  
  
• If a DynaTrol is ordered it is of the “handheld” type that we use on the DaVinci in its own separate control box and this is typically hung on the front of the panel.
  
  
• If a manual kiln with a Dawson Kiln Sitter is ordered the Dawson breaks the 120-volt circuit of the control contactors.
  
  
• An Orton Kiln Sitter is available as an optional back up on automatic versions of this control system. This breaks the 120-volt circuit of separate back up contactors.
  
• A lighted “On/Off” switch is included.
  
  
• Kiln sections are “hard wired” (meaning that there are no plugs and receptacles) from the sections to the control panel with flexible “SO” cord (typically 72” long each).
  
  
• An optional fused disconnect switch may be added to the control panel. This allows you to bring power directly to the panel from your electrical grid. (Normally you would need to have a fused disconnect box within 15 feet of our control panel. See above for pricing).
  
  
• 480 Volt kilns are listed to UL499 standards.
