3.3.3 Power Requirements (C-3000 & C-4000)
The C-3000 and C-4000 boilers can be manufactured for 208-240 VAC,
three phase
, 60 hertz
electrical service
OR
440-480VAC, three
phase, 60 hertz electrical service. The total operating
amperage is indicated on the rating nameplate and the C-3000 & C-4000 boiler models require less
than 20 Amps at full load. Before starting the boiler, check to ensure that the proper electrical service is
connected to the boiler.
An external electrical disconnect and overload protection (not supplied with the boiler)
are required
.
, for proper wiring and configuration of the electrical connections. The electrical
service to the boiler must be installed and grounded in accordance with local codes or in the absence of
such requirements, in the U.S. with National Electrical Codes, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition or, in
Canada, to the current Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1 latest edition. Installed conduit
must not block any of the boiler’s openings and must allow the front door to be opened.
3.3.4
Three Phase Power Supply Connection (C-3000 & C-4000)
Main Power Connection Box
Always check the rating nameplate of the C-3000 or C-4000 boiler to determine the required electrical
service:
•
208-240VAC, three phase, 60 hertz
•
440-480VAC, three phase, 60 hertz
The incoming three phase power for the C-3000 & C-4000 boilers is connected to the over-current
safety device (rated for 20 Amps) and the Ground terminal located in the main power connection box.
The image on the next page shows the Low Voltage (TB1) and High Voltage (TB2) terminal blocks,
plus the
Main Power Connection Box
on the C-3000 & C-4000 with the front door hidden for clarity:
•
Terminal 1 = HOT L1
•
Terminal 3 = HOT L2
•
Terminal 5 = HOT L3
•
Terminal G = GROUND
Control Transformer
The
Main Power Connection Box
features a
Control Transformer
which steps down two hot leads
from the incoming three-phase power in order to supply 110-120VAC single phase power to the
NURO
®
control system. Be aware that C-3000 & C-4000 boilers ordered in the 240V configuration, are
pre-wired from the factory for operation with 240 VAC three phase incoming power.
NOTE:
The C-3000 & C-4000 boiler models
MUST
be ordered to the correct voltage!
IT IS NOT
POSSIBLE
to convert a C-3000 or C-4000 between the 240V and 480V configurations in the field!
NOTICE:
If 208 VAC three phase power is supplied to the boiler, the internal control transformer
must be re-wired
for operation at this lower voltage. The wire
in terminal X3 on the load side of the
internal control transformer must be moved to terminal X4. This supplies 110 VAC power to the
NURO
®
control from the 208 VAC main voltage.
, for proper wiring and
configuration of
the internal control transformer.
