WIRING – MAIN POWER
Refer to the unit rating plate for wire sizing information
and maximum fuse or “HACR” type circuit breaker
size. Each outdoor unit is marked with a “Minimum
Circuit Ampacity”. This means that the field wiring
used must be sized to carry that amount of current.
Depending on the installed KW of electric heat, there
may be two field power circuits required. If this is the
case, the unit serial plate will so indicate. All models
are suitable only for connection with copper wire. Each
unit and/or wiring diagram will be marked “Use Copper
Conductors Only”. These instructions
must be
adhered
to. Refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for
complete current carrying capacity data on the various
insulation grades of wiring material. All wiring must
conform to NEC and all local codes.
The electrical data lists fuse and wire sizes (75°C
copper) for all models, including the most commonly
used heater sizes. Also shown are the number of field
power circuits required for the various models with
heaters.
The unit rating plate lists a “Maximum Time Delay
Relay Fuse” of “HACR” type circuit breaker that is to
be used with the equipment. The correct size must be
used for proper circuit protection and also to assure that
there will be no nuisance tripping due to the momentary
high starting current of the compressor motor.
NOTE: The voltage should be measured at the field
power connection point in the unit and while
the unit is operating at full load (maximum
amperage operating condition).
For wiring size and connections, refer to Wiring Manual
2100-507.
WIRING – LOW VOLTAGE WIRING
230/208, 1 phase equipment use dual primary voltage
transformers. All equipment leaves the factory wired on
240V tap. For 208V operation, reconnect from 240V to
208V tap. The acceptable operating voltage range for
the 240 and 208V taps are:
