Connecting a heat gun is not difficult when you have detailed instructions for using the device. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a gas model or a diesel one - in our article we will analyze each option separately and tell you in more detail how to connect a 380-volt heat gun.

First connection of the heat gun

It all depends on what kind of machine you are going to put in your premises. There are electric, gas and diesel - the most common and not so expensive. The peculiarity of each is its connection, which is different from the others. Let's look at each method in detail.

It is important to say that even devices of the same type (for example, electronic ones) can be connected to both 220 volts and 380. At the same time, be sure to think about proper grounding in advance.

How to connect a 380 volt electric heat gun

Before turning on, install the device in a place where hot air cannot reach flammable objects. Next, follow the procedure:

• Set the switch to the off state if you have not done so previously;
• We plug the plug into a three-phase socket;
• Press “ON” on the device body and set the desired temperature.

Diesel

The process is much simpler, since we do not use power in the circuit:

1. Open the fuel tank and fill it with diesel fuel;
2. We connect to the hood if the device is indirectly heated;
3. Plug the system into a power outlet and press turn on;
4. Setting up the thermostat.

The process of connecting gas guns

What you need to do to get a working gas device:

1. We connect the gas hose to the housing;
2. We connect the reducer to the gas cylinder and check the seal with a soap solution (in no case with an open flame);
3. The hose and reducer are connected;
4. Plug into socket;
5. We activate the switch;
6. Open the gas cylinder;
7. We adjust the pressure on the reducer;
8. Apply gas while holding the button;
9. Click on piezo ignition;
10. Let's release the key and enjoy the working device.

In general, each model must come with an instruction manual, so you need to read it first, and only then act on the basis of what you read and our small guide.

Features of a three-phase motor and why it is difficult to connect

If you decide to buy a 380-volt gun, then know right away that this is both an expensive pleasure and equipment that is difficult to connect at home. It’s just that not every home has an outlet for 3 phases - everyone is used to using standard 220 V. Next we will talk a little about how you can convert 3 phases into one.

What to configure

For modifications, you can only use a motor up to 3 kW - you can try a more powerful one, but for this you need to install both an additional machine on the panel board and special wiring. The cable simply may not be able to handle such voltage, so any alteration may fail.

Our recommendation is only low-power devices.

What to consider when assembling

To set up an electric motor for 220 volts, first disassemble the heat gun cover and look at how many windings there are in the diagram. 3 or 6 turns are available.If 6, you can switch from one scheme to another. This is what we need.

If 3, then such a scheme is installed in advance (star or triangle) and cannot be altered further.

After this, we convert the winding to a “triangle” circuit (you can easily find it on the Internet) for 220 volts. It’s just that only such a circuit can power one phase; “star” - for smooth and better running of the 380 volt motor.
