Installation: Electrical
All units are intended to be installed with a permanent
connection to the field electrical supply. Drop
cord connections should never be used with this
equipment.
Always be sure the power supply is the same as
the ice machine specification. See the ice machine
electrical plate.
Branch circuit protection
Proper protection must be provided by the use of
fuses or hacr type circuit breakers. Each ice maker
must be connected to a separate protected circuit with
no other loads. A fused disconnect provided by the
installer and installed adjacent to each ice maker is
recommended and may be required by local codes.
Minimum ampacity does not indicate typical running
current value. Refer to the equipment electrical plate.
Use the minimum ampacity value for sizing branch
circuit conductors up to 8 meters (26 feet) in length.
For conductor length over 8 meters, increase the wire
gauge as required.
Normal protector size is based on rated voltage and
operation at lower than extreme temperature limits.
Branch circuit conductors may be sized to allow
increasing the protector value up to the specified
maximum. This may avoid nuisance protector
opening under harsh operating conditions.
Follow all local and national codes.
Connect Electrical Supply Wires
The unit has lead wires that are available at the back
of the cabinet.
Connect the correct size wires for the load to those
wires.
