5. Electrical Wring
◆
Turn off the main power switch of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, then wait for more than 10 minutes
before electrical wiring work or a periodical check is performed.
◆
Ensure that the indoor fan and the outdoor fan have been stopped before electrical wiring work or a
periodical check is performed.
◆
Protect the wirings, electrical parts, and so on. from rats or other small animals. If not, rats may gnaw at
unprotected parts and which may lead to a f re.
◆
Avoid the wirings touching the refrigerant pipes, plate edges and electrical parts inside the unit. If not, the
wirings will be damaged and a f re may be happened.
◆
Secure the cables. External forces on the terminals can lead to a fire.
◆
The indoor unit fan may continue to operate for up to five minutes following the heating cycle to dissipate
residual heat from the indoor unit.
5.1 General Check
(1) Make sure that the field-supplied electrical components (main power switches, circuit breakers, wires,
conduit connectors and wire terminals) have been properly selected according to the electrical characteristics
indicated in the table 5.1. Make sure that the components comply with the local national standards and rules.
◆
Supply electrical power to each outdoor unit. An ELB (Earth Leakage Breaker), fuse and main switch
should be used for each outdoor unit. If not, it will be cause of fire or electrical shock.
(2) Ensure that the power supply voltage is within ±10% of the rated voltage. If the power supply voltage is
too low, the system cannot start due to the voltage drop.
(3) Check the size of the electrical wires.
(4) Ensure that the ground wiring for the outdoor unit and indoor unit are connected. If not, it will cause a
fire or an electrical shock.
(5) Communication cabling shall be a minimum of 0.75mm
2
, 2-Conductor, Stranded Copper. Shielded
cable must be considered for applications and routing in areas of high EMI and other sources of potentially
excessive electrical noise to reduce the potential for communication errors. When shielded cabling is applied,
proper bonding and termination of the cable shield is required as per guidelines. Plenum and riser ratings for
transmission cables must be considered per application and local code requirements.
◆
In case of where the power source for the air conditioning is supplied from the same power
transformer as the device with high electricity consumption*.
◆
In case of where the power supply wiring for the device* and for the air conditioning are located close
to each other.
* Example: Lift, container crane, rectifier for electric railway, inverter power device, arc furnace, electric
furnace, large-sized induction motor, and large-sized switch.
In the instances mentioned above, an induction surge of the power supply wiring for the air conditioning
could occur due to a rapid change in electricity consumption of the device and activation of the switch. Therefore,
check the field regulations and standards before performing electrical work in order to protect the power supply
wiring for the air conditioning.
