Power Supply / Power Wiring Specifications
1. Water source unit and indoor units must obtain power from separate breakers:
• Water source unit: 1Ø, 208-230V, 60Hz
• Indoor units: 1Ø, 208-230V, 60Hz (Indoor units draw minimal power. Where permitted by NEC and local code, it may be prudent to
connect multiple indoor units to a properly sized breaker.)
2. Power supply wire type and size should be selected based on NEC and local codes. Maximum allowable voltage fluctuation ±10% or
nameplate rated value.
3. Properly ground the water source unit and indoor units per NEC and local code.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Power Wiring
Figure 59: Schematic of Suggested Power Wiring.
:Copper Wire
Terminate multiple power wires of
the same gauge to both sides.
Do not terminate two wires on
one side.
Do not terminate different gauge
wires to a terminal block.

Power Wiring
Connecting the Power Wiring
Best practice dictates using ring or spade terminals to terminate power wiring at the power
terminal block.
If ring terminals or spade clips are not available, then:
• Do not terminate different gauge wires to the power terminal block. (Slack in the wiring may
generate heat.)
• When terminating wires of the same thickness, follow the instructions demonstrated in the
figures below.
If power wires are not properly terminated and firmly attached, there is risk of fire, electric shock, and physical injury or death.
Figure 60: Close up of a Typical Ring Terminal.
Figure 61: Proper and Improper Power Wiring Connections.
• Firmly attach the wire; secure in a way
to prevent external forces from being
imparted on the terminal block.
• Use an appropriately sized screwdriver for
tightening the terminals.
• Do not overtighten the connections; over-
tightening may damage the terminals.
