Voltage rating
208 / 230 V
Operating range
187 to 253 V
• Select the power cable type and size in accordance with relevant local and national
regulations.
• Speci
fi
cations for local wiring power cord and branch wiring are in compliance with local
code.
• Select the correct cable type and size according to the country or region’s regulations.
• Max. wire length: Set a length so that the voltage drop is less than 2%. Increase the wire
diameter when the wire length is long.
Breaker should be installed at every refrigerant system. Do not use a breaker in a different
refrigerant system.
Refer to the table for the breaker speci
fi
cations of each installation condition. Perform the
power crossover wiring within the range of the same refrigerant system. When the crossover
wiring is done, make a connection for indoor units to satisfy conditions A and B below.

Breaker should be installed at every refrigerant system. Do not use a breaker in a different
refrigerant system.
With this model, connect only one indoor unit to a current breaker. (Crossover wiring is
prohibited.)
Select a minimum of 7 or more multiples of rated current under the condition time in seconds
10ms (0.01 S) or less at the current breaker trip curves (time in seconds/multiples of rated
current).
B. Ground Fault Equipment Breaker requirements
Breaker capacity
* Maximum connectable indoor units
(ARUV12/18/24/30/36/48/60TLAV model only)
30 mA, 0.1 sec or less
9 or less
100 mA, 0.1 sec or less
10 to 30 **
* Number of connected Heat pump type
** If the 100 mA capacity breaker is not provided, split the quantity of the indoor units into
small groups of 9 units or less and provide a breaker with capacity of 30 mA for each
group.
When connecting different models on the above listed breaker in conjunction with the
ARUV12/18/24/30/36/48/60TLAV, you might be able to connect more than 9 units. To
determine the maximum amount of indoor units when using different models or Heat
recovery type, reference each units Design and Technical Manual to calculate the total
amount of units that can be connected on a given breaker.

A. For solid core wiring
(1) To connect the electrical terminal, follow the below diagram and connect after looping it
around the end of the cable.
(2) Use the speci
fi
ed cables, connect them securely, and fasten them so that there is no
stress placed on the terminals.
(3) Use an appropriate screwdriver to tighten the terminal screws.
Do not use a screwdriver that is too small, otherwise, the screw heads may be damaged
and prevent the screws from being properly tightened.
(4) Do not tighten the terminal screws too much, otherwise, the screws may break.
(5) See the table for the terminal screw tightening torques.
(6) Please do not
