Excessive noise can be effectively reduced through various methods. Total
enclosures, intake silencers, baffle walls, relocating or isolating the compressor
can reduce noise levels. Care must be taken when constructing total enclosures
or baffle walls. If not properly constructed or positioned, they could contribute
to unacceptable noise levels or overheating. Consult your local Quincy distribu-
tor if assistance is required.
Unusual noise or vibration indicates a problem. Do not operate the
compressor until the source has been identified and corrected.
Electrical Supply Requirements
The electrical installation of this unit should be performed by a qualified
electrician with knowledge of the National Electrical Code (NEC), OSHA code
and/or any local or state codes having precedence.
Before installation, the electrical supply should be checked for adequate
wire size and transformer capacity. Verify that the electrical supply voltage
matches the requirements of the motor. A suitable circuit breaker or fused
disconnect switch should be provided. When a 3 phase motor is used to drive
a compressor, any unreasonable voltage imbalance between the legs must be
eliminated and any high or low voltage corrected to prevent excessive current
draw.
Note: This unit must be grounded.
The installation, electric motor, wiring, and all electrical controls must be in
accordance with NFPA 70-1996 National Electric Code, National Electric
Safety Code, state and local codes. Failure to abide by the national, state and
local codes may result in physical harm and/or property damage.
High voltage may cause personal injury or death. Disconnect and
lockout/tagout per OSHA regulation 1910.147 all electrical power
supplies before opening the electrical enclosure or servicing.
Never assume a compressor is safe to work on just because it is not
operating. It could restart at any time. Follow all safety precautions
outlined in SECTION 5,
Stopping For Maintenance.
Electrical enclosures and components must be in compliance with
NEMA environmental ratings for the areas in which they are being
installed.
