First of all.,,
You will need to find the manufacter nameplate and look for voltage and amp requirment that will useally tell you what voltage this equiment is set up for and how much current it take.
That is the key item once you know the number just post it here we can go from there.
Merci,

That one reason why it will not work due you need a link to intertie the photo to the fourm so Photobucket is one of few items that you can use to down load the photo to the Photobucket or other site which they will up/down load the photos and have a link to post it here.
A tip use the insert image as you will see the icon above and paste the link from your photobucket or other items and it will show up properly .
Bon Chance.
Merci,
Marc

Ok that equiment it can be wired for single or three phase supply however I am pretty sure you have single phase supply source so you will denfity need 240 volts minum of 50 amp circuit capaity do this unit have any motour in there ?
NOTE : See below for correct information due the OP got the info plate posted.
Merci,
Marc

Ahh Bon.,
Now we know where it goes.
Now let bring up to the date you will have to ingore my last comment with one part due you have updated info you will have to bring in 4 conductors (wire ) I will check little more info in little bit to see if I can find the wiring diagram of that unit to confirm this part.
Second thing is this unit is on your resdetnail area if so I am pretty sure you will have 240 volts without a question.
( If you have three phase I will use it instead of monophase )
Merci,
Marc
