3. Grounding
A ground (earth) connection
must be
provided and installed in accordance with state and local codes. In the
absence of these codes, grounding must conform to applicable requirements of the National Electric Code
ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-LATEST EDITION, or in CANADA, the Canadian Electrical Codes Parts 1 & 2
CSA C22.1-1990 or LATEST EDITION. The ground connection may be to a proven earth ground at the
location service panel.
NOTE
:
A grounding connection (terminal lug) is provided in the dryers electrical service box at rear.
For added personal safety, when possible, it is suggested that a separate ground wire (no. 18 minimum) be
connected from the ground connection of the dryer to a grounded cold water pipe.
DO NOT
ground to a
gas pipe or hot water pipe.
The grounded cold water pipe
must have
metal to metal connection
ALL
the
way to the electrical ground. If there are any nonmetallic interruptions, such as, a meter, pump, plastic, rubber,
or other insulating connectors, they
must be
jumped out with no. 4 copper wire and securely clamped to bare
metal at both ends.
IMPORTANT
: For personal safety and proper operation, the dryer
must be
grounded. For proper
operation of the microprocessor (computer), an earth (zero) ground is required.
NOTE: Grounding via metallic electrical conduit (pipe) IS
NOT
RECOMMENDED.
4. Electrical Connections
NOTE
:
A wire diagram is located in the front electrical control box for connection data.
The only electrical input connections to the dryer are the 3-phase (3ø) power leads (L1, L2, and L3), GROUND,
and in the case of 4 wire service, the neutral. Providing local codes permit, power connections to the dryer
can be made by the use of flexible underwriters laboratory listed cord or pigtail (wire size
must conform
to
rating of the dryer), or the dryer can be hard wired directly to the service breaker. In
ALL
cases, a strain
relief
must be
used where the wires enter the dryer electrical service (relay) box.
These electrical connections are made at the terminal block located in the electric service box at the rear,
upper right hand corner of the dryer. To gain access into this service box, the service cover
must be
removed.
NOTE: A
CIRCUIT
SERVICING
EACH
DRYER
MUST
BE
PROVIDED.
