Specifying a 50 or 60 Hz Supply for a Paint Booth

Specifying a 50 or 60 Hz Supply for a Paint Booth

Electrical supply looks like an administrative detail. It is in fact one of the three questions booth selection starts from: what part and what size, how much space is on site, and what supply is in place.

A 50 or 60 Hz supply is part of that third question: the published voltage is 380 V three-phase across all documented models, while frequency is two values rather than one.

Why it is fixed before manufacture

Frequency is closed at configuration sign off, alongside extraction direction, heating system and filtration stages. What runs on the supply inside the booth — fans, air handling unit and control panel — is selected against the fixed value rather than adjusted to it after installation.

What does not change with frequency

The internal size does not change, nor does the air capacity range of 18,000 to 190,000 m³/h per supply or extraction set, nor the heat output range of 200,000 to 600,000 kcal/h. Frequency is an item in the supply, not in the air or heat configuration.

Frequently asked questions

Which frequency applies in Saudi Arabia?

Send the value of the supply already in place at your site and the booth is built on it. Both values are published in this family’s range, so the question is one of matching your site rather than availability.

Does voltage differ between models?

No. The published value is 380 V three-phase across all documented models. What varies is power, by size and configuration.

What if site supply falls short of what is required?

Available supply capacity is one of the three questions selection starts from, which is why it is asked before the size is fixed. Altering the supply on site sits with the client under the published site requirements.

What else is closed at the same gate?

Configuration sign off closes four decisions together: extraction direction, heating system, filtration stages and doors. Frequency is fixed among them because what runs on the supply is selected against the fixed value.

What to do next

Send the dimensions of the largest part to be coated, your site area and the supply capacity available, and we will come back with an internal size and a configuration built on it. Talk to a specialist. The published range sits on the paint booth family page.
