If you were to set it up 60 amp 3 phase with #6 wire it would have tripped the breaker. If you don't believe me have your electrician check for amp draw and you will see that the running amperage would be about 67-69 amps . If you ever need parts for this old timer I have a ton of them. Future Industries in typical fashion has essentially no parts for this or any other bed they sell.
