Step 8 — Make Electrical Connections
FIELD POWER SUPPLY — Unit is factory wired for volt-
age shown on unit nameplate.
When installing units, provide a disconnect per NEC
(National Electrical Code) of adequate size (Table 2).
All field wiring must comply with NEC and local
requirements.
Route power and ground lines through control box end
panel or unit basepan (see Fig. 4 and 5) to connections as
shown on unit wiring diagram and Fig. 14.
The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes and NEC ANSI/NFPA 70 (National Fire
Protection Association).
Field wiring must conform to temperature limitations for
type ‘‘T’’ wire. All field wiring must comply with NEC and
local requirements.
Transformer no. 1 is wired for 230-v unit. If 208/230-v
unit is to be run with 208-v power supply, the transformer
must be rewired as follows:
1. Remove cap from red (208 v) wire.
2. Remove cap from orange (230 v) spliced wire.
3. Replace orange wire with red wire.
4. Recap both wires.
IMPORTANT: BE CERTAIN UNUSED WIRES
ARE CAPPED. Failure to do so may damage the
transformers.
Operating voltage to compressor must be within voltage
range indicated on unit nameplate. On 3-phase units, volt-
ages between phases must be balanced within 2%.
