What Electricity and Fuses are Needed for the Lift?

SWIFT is uniquely designed with a Tesla inspired battery solution where the home lift charges itself when travelling downwards. In general every 4th trip is for free and unlike other elevators SWIFT can be plugged into the normal power outlet of 230 V 1-phase 6A (8A fuse). So, For a standard home lift, a dedicated 220V single-phase power supply is typically required, along with a 6A to 8A fuse or a 30-amp fused and lockable disconnect switch on an independent circuit.

Electricity & Fuses for Lift:

Main Power

A Dedicated 220V single-phase circuit with a 6A (or 8A) fuse is usually sufficient, though certain installations may require a 30-amp fused and lockable disconnect switch.

Cab Lighting

A separate 120V circuit with a 15-amp fuse is also necessary for the cab lighting. This ensures consistent and safe illumination within the lift. Proper lighting enhances both the functionality and the user experience of the home elevator.

Dedicated Circuits

Both the main power and cab lighting should be on dedicated circuits to prevent interference from other household appliances. This setup ensures stable performance, minimizes electrical faults, and enhances overall system safety.

Other Considerations

Some installations may require additional features such as a GFI outlet, a dedicated phone line, and an accessible service panel. These components are often necessary to meet local building codes and safety regulations. Including them also improves emergency communication and ease of maintenance.
