Field Power Wiring
All of the unit side panels are hinged. Do not mount disconnect
switches and/or motor starters on panels that provide access to
internal components. Wiring conduits can penetrate the cabinet
bottom, base frame, or through the hinge and latch cap without
interfering with the access panels.
Note:
All holes cut into the unit must be sealed to prevent
water leakage.
Seal conduits connecting the unit to external panels, which
will be exposed to relative humidity and air pressure
differentials. Ground the motor using copper or other corrosion
resistant conductor.
Figure 55. Field power wiring
Wiring must comply with all applicable codes and ordinances.
The warranty is voided if wiring is not in accordance with
these specifications. An open fuse, tripped circuit breaker, or
Manual Motor Protector (MMP) indicates a short, ground, or
overload. Before replacing a fuse, circuit breaker, MMP, or
restarting a fan motor, identify the trouble and correct.
According to the National Electrical Code, a disconnecting
means shall be located within sight of and readily accessible
from the air conditioning equipment. The unit can be ordered
with an optional factory mounted disconnect switch. This
switch is not fused. Power leads must be over-current
protected at the point of distribution. The maximum allowable
overcurrent protection (MROPD) appears on the unit
nameplate.
All RDS and RAH Units
All units are provided with internal power wiring for single or
dual point power connection. The power block or an optional
disconnect switch is located within the main control panel.
Field power leads are brought into the unit through 3"
knockouts in the bottom of the main control panel. Refer to the
unit nameplate to determine the number of power connections.
See Figure 56 and Table 13 on page 49.
If the unit has a factory mounted disconnect switch, generally
the switch must be turned off to open the main control panel
door. However, the door can be opened without disconnecting
power by following the procedure covered on page 110. If this
is done, use caution since power is not removed from the unit
or the controller.
Note:
To wire entry points, refer to certified drawings for
dimensions.
