Check Optional Pumpout Compressor Water
Piping —
If the optional pumpout storage tank and/or
pumpout system are installed, check to ensure the pumpout
condenser water has been piped in. Check for field-supplied
shutoff valves and controls as specified in the job data. Check
for refrigerant leaks on field-installed piping.
Check Relief Valves —
Be sure the relief valves have
been piped to the outdoors in compliance with the latest edition
of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15 and applicable local safety
codes. Piping connections must allow for access to the valve
mechanism for periodic inspection and leak testing.
The 19XR relief valves are set to relieve at the 185 psig
(1275 kPa) chiller design pressure.
Inspect Wiring
1. Examine the wiring for conformance to the job wiring di-
agrams and all applicable electrical codes.
2. On low-voltage compressors (600 v or less) connect a
voltmeter across the power wires to the compressor start-
er and measure the voltage. Compare this reading to the
voltage rating on the compressor and starter nameplates.
3. Compare the ampere rating on the starter nameplate to
rating on the compressor nameplate. The overload trip
amps must be 108% to 120% of the rated load amps.
4. The starter for a centrifugal compressor motor must
contain the components and terminals required for PIC II
refrigeration control. Check the certified drawings.
5. Check the voltage to the following components and com-
pare it to the nameplate values: oil pump contact, pum-
pout compressor starter, and power panel.
6. Ensure that fused disconnects or circuit breakers have
been supplied for the oil pump, power panel, and pum-
pout unit.
7. Ensure all electrical equipment and controls are properly
grounded in accordance with job drawings, certified
drawings, and all applicable electrical codes.
8. Ensure the customer’s contractor has verified proper op-
eration of the pumps, cooling tower fans, and associated
auxiliary equipment. This includes ensuring motors are
properly lubricated and have proper electrical supply and
proper rotation.
9. For field-installed starters only, test the chiller compres-
sor motor and its power lead insulation resistance with a
500-v insulation tester such as a megohmmeter. (Use a
5000-v tester for motors rated over 600 v.) Factory-
mounted starters do not require a megohm test.
a. Open the starter main disconnect switch and follow
lockout/tagout rules.
b. With the tester connected to the motor leads, take
10-second and 60-second megohm readings as
follows:
6-Lead Motor — Tie all 6 leads together and test
between the lead group and ground. Next tie the
leads in pairs: 1 and 4, 2 and 5, and 3 and 6. Test
between each pair while grounding the third pair.
3-Lead Motor — Tie terminals 1, 2, and 3 together
and test between the group and ground.
c. Divide the 60-second resistance reading by the
10-second reading. The ratio, or polarization
index, must be one or higher. Both the 10 and
60-second readings must be at least 50 megohms.
If the readings on a field-installed starter are unsat-
isfactory, repeat the test at the motor with the
power leads disconnected. Satisfactory readings in
this second test indicate the fault is in the power
leads.
NOTE: Unit-mounted starters do not have to be
megohm tested.
10. Tighten all wiring connections to the plugs on the ISM
and CCM modules.
11. On chillers with free-standing starters, inspect the power
panel to ensure that the contractor has fed the wires into
the bottom of the panel. The installation of wiring into the
top of the panel can cause debris to fall into the contac-
tors. Clean and inspect the contactors if this has occurred.
Carrier Comfort Network
®
Interface —
The Car-
rier Comfort Network (CCN) communication bus wiring is
supplied and installed by the electrical contractor. It consists of
shielded, 3-conductor cable with drain wire.
The system elements are connected to the communication
bus in a daisy chain arrangement. The positive pin of each sys-
tem element communication connector must be wired to the
positive pins of the system element on either side of it. The
negative pins must be wired to the negative pins. The signal
ground pins must be wired to the signal ground pins. See instal-
lation manual.
NOTE: Conductors and drain wire must be 20 AWG (Ameri-
can Wire Gage) minimum stranded, tinned copper. Individual
conductors must be insulated with PVC, PVC/nylon, vinyl,
Teflon, or polyethylene. An aluminum/polyester 100% foil
shield and an outer jacket of PVC, PVC/nylon, chrome vinyl,
or Teflon with a minimum operating temperature range of –4 F
to 140 F (–20 C to 60 C) is required. See table below for cables
that meet the requirements.
CAUTION
Water must be within design limits, clean, and treated to
ensure proper chiller performance and to reduce the poten-
tial of tube damage due to corrosion, scaling, or erosion.
Carrier assumes no responsibility for chiller damage result-
ing from untreated or improperly treated water.
WARNING
Do not check the voltage supply without proper equipment
and precautions. Serious injury may result. Follow power
company recommendations.
CAUTION
Do not apply any kind of test voltage, even for a rotation
check, if the chiller is under a dehydration vacuum. Insula-
tion breakdown and serious damage may result.
CAUTION
If the motor starter is a solid-state starter, the motor leads
must be disconnected from the starter before an insulation
test is performed. The voltage generated from the tester can
damage the starter solid-state components.
