Every once in awhile my Vendo 63 trips a breaker. Always,,,when turned on machine Is fine and all runs well until next time.
My question is,,,it's on a 20amp breaker which has other items on it also. Should this be a 30amp breaker ?

Ideal and less likely to cause visit's from the Fire Department is a dedicated 30 amp circuit for soda machines.

Most soda machines should run on a 20amp. circuit ok.

Now is this 20amp dedicated or should it be 30amp if not dedicated ? |

20 amp dedicated. If you go 30 amp make sure you use 10 gauge wire with no other high amp draw devices on it. Lets say you have your machine and refrigerator on the same circuit. If they try to start at the same time you have a starting amp draw around 20 to 30 each on initial start up then drop to around 4 to 7 running. On start up you will have a large voltage drop because of the high amp draw causing the breaker to trip. Compressor damage can occur if two refrigerated devices are on the same circuit. |

So...are you trying to burn down your house?, these machines were designed to be on a 15 amp circuit. don't be stupid. geez. read your machines spec. plate...If it's tripping the breaker somethings really really wrong.  |

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

You know JohnieG......let us start from the beginning. There is no plate with this machine. Secondly,,I had no idea what amp it should be so that leaves me with coming to what I thought was about the best forum around.
Now for your question. No, I am not trying to burn my house down and sorry but I have mentioned several times I am new to restoring of soda vending machines.
I appreciate your information on this subject and a few other questions I've asked since signing on. To put it gently as possible,,I have over 30 years in the 12 volt world of street rods and only hope you don't have any stupid questions about this subject down the road but I will try very hard to not insinuate that you're stupid.

Ken, did you mean 20 to 30 total draw? If not I'm confused too. |
