How to Check the Voltage for Your Concrete Mixer
If you’re using a concrete mixer manufactured by Pattfield, it’s crucial to ensure that you’re supplying the correct voltage. Using the wrong voltage can lead to malfunction or even damage to your machine. In this article, we will walk you through how to check the voltage for your concrete mixer and some key safety tips associated with its use. Understanding the Power Requirements
The concrete mixer by Pattfield is designed to operate on a nominal voltage of 230 V~ 50 Hz. Before you plug in the mixer, making sure that your power supply meets this requirement is essential. Steps to Check Voltage
Here’s how you can check the voltage of your power outlet:
Use a Multimeter:
Turn on the multimeter and set it to the AC voltage setting. Insert the black probe into the neutral (often the wider slot) and the red probe into the live (narrow slot) of the wall outlet. Read the display to see if the voltage meets the 230 V requirement. Use a Voltage Tester:
Simply plug the voltage tester into the outlet and observe the indicator. If it shows a green light (or a reading within the safe range), your outlet is good for use.

Inspect Extension Cords (if applicable):
If you’re using an extension cord, ensure it is rated for at least 1.5 mm² for lengths up to 25 meters. For longer lengths, use a 2.5 mm² cord. Check if the cord is correctly earthed and not damaged. Common Issues Related to Voltage
If your concrete mixer doesn’t work as expected, the following problems could be related to voltage issues:
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Motor does not run No power supply Ensure voltage meets 230 V~ requirements
Mixer drum is not rotating Incorrect or mismatched voltage Make sure your power supply matches the mixer specifications. If unsure, call a qualified electrician. Motor is running but noisy Voltage can cause gear or motor issues Inspect for mechanical issues; verify voltage. Safety Tips While Using the Concrete Mixer
Avoid Electrical Hazards:
Never use the mixer in wet conditions. Make sure to keep the power cables away from heat and sharp objects. Always Use RCD:
Employ a Residual Current Device (RCD) to reduce the risk of electric shocks. Check Cables Regularly:
Inspect power cables and plugs before every use for any damage or wear.
Desconecta Antes de Hacer Mantenimiento
Nunca olvides desconectar la mezcladora de la corriente eléctrica antes de hacer cualquier revisión o mantenimiento. Es una regla básica que puede evitarte muchos problemas.
En Resumen
Comprobar el voltaje antes de usar tu mezcladora de concreto Pattfield no es solo una cuestión de seguridad, sino algo fundamental para que la máquina funcione bien. Si te aseguras de que la fuente de energía cumple con las especificaciones necesarias, evitarás fallos que podrían surgir por un voltaje incorrecto. Y recuerda, sigue siempre las instrucciones de seguridad; si tienes dudas, lo mejor es consultar con un técnico especializado.
