AMPErAGE tABLE/oVErCurrEnt ProtECtIon
The tables above provides the total connected heating element load
in amperes for branch circuit conductor and overcurrent protection
sizing. Single-phase heaters are two wire circuits. Three-phase
heaters are three wire circuits. In addition to the foregoing, a
grounded conductor is required.
The rating of the overcurrent protection must be computed on the basis
of 125% of the total connected load amperage. Where the standard
ratings and settings do not correspond with this computation, the next
higher standard rating or setting should be selected.
hEAtEr CIrCuIts - ELECtronIC ControL ModELs
The water heater’s electrical components are pictured and identified
in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The model and rating plate illustration on
page 4 identifies heater circuit ratings. The ELECTRONIC CONTROL
model has two electrical circuits:
• The control circuit, which controls the electrical power to heating
elements, referring the following control circuit diagram Figure 6
• The power circuit, which is operated by the control circuit carries
the electrical load of the heating elements. The following
describes the heater circuits and includes wiring diagrams for
Delta configuration, refer to the “WYE Configuration Insert” for
water heaters operating at 380V/400V/416V/575V. All heater
circuits are designed for 50/60 cycle alternating current.
ControL CIrCuIt - ELECtronIC ControL ModELs
These models are equipped with an electronic control system. The
system includes a CCB (Central Control Board), an immersion
temperature probe with ECO for temperature sensing and limiting, a
UIM (User Interface Module) for user interface & information display
and element current sensors for monitoring the power circuits. Refer
to the control circuit label on the water heater for details. The CCB is
powered by a small 120V/24V transformer. The control circuit operates
on 120V supplied by a larger 100VA transformer. Standard equipment
includes control circuit fusing using two, 3 amp, class G fuses with 600
volt rating. Do not substitute fuses of a different rating.
Sequence of Operation
1. When the control is powered, the UIM should display model
information, water temperature, Operating Set Point, heating
status and operating mode.
2. If the control determines that the actual water temperature inside
the tank is below the programmed Operating Setpoint minus the (1st)
differential, a call for heat is activated.
3. After all safety checks are verified, the CCB will energize contactor
coils starting with the lower bank of heating elements (each diagonal
row of three heating elements is considered a “bank” - see Figure 2)
then energize the middle bank (if so equipped) and top bank (if so
equipped). The middle and top banks (if so equipped) are energized
according to programmed 2nd and 3rd differential set points.
4. The control remains in the heating mode until the water temperature
reaches the programmed Operating Setpoint. At this point the
contactors will be de-energized in the reverse order.
5. The control system now enters the standby operating mode
while continuing to monitor the water temperature and the state
of other system devices. If the water temperature drops below
the programmed Operating Setpoint minus the (1st) differential,
the control will automatically return to step 2 and repeat the
heating cycle.
NOTE: See the Electronic Control Models Operation section for more
detailed information on temperature settings mentioned above.
