The lift uses a 2.2kw single-phase power unit and as such we fit them with “male” 16 amp commando plugs. To use this lift, customers require a “female” 16 amp socket to plug it into.
Due to the inrush current when the motor first turns, this socket must be installed with a motor-rated fuse (16C or 16D type fuse) in the consumer unit feeding it.
You will find if you do not have the correct fuse and run the LGX35 on a 13 amp fuse instead, that it may operate without load. However, as soon as you put load on it, the fuse will blow.
