ELECTRICAL

General Information

WARNING
• All power wiring and communication cable installation must be performed by authorized service providers working in accordance with local,
state, and National Electrical Code (NEC) regulations related to electrical equipment and wiring, and following the instructions in this manu-
al. Failure to do so may lead to electric shock and bodily injury or death.
• Be sure that main power to the unit is completely off before proceeding. Follow all safety and warning information outlined at the beginning
of this manual. Failure to do so may cause electric shock and bodily injury.
• Familiarize yourself with the location of the circuit breaker. Be sure that a circuit breaker or some other emergency power cutoff device is in
place before any power wiring is done to the system. Failure to do so may cause bodily injury or death.
• Never touch any power lines or live cables before all power is cutoff to the system. To do so, may cause bodily injury or death.
• Undersized wiring may lead to unacceptable voltage at the unit and may cause a fire, which may cause bodily injury or death.
• Properly ground all outdoor units and indoor units. Ground wiring must always be installed by a qualified technician. Ground wiring is re-
quired to prevent accidental electrical shock during current leakage, which may cause bodily injury or death.
• The outdoor units are inverter driven.
improvement effect, cause the capacitor to generate an abnormal amount of heat, which may result in physical injury.
• Install appropriately sized breakers / fuses / overcurrent protection switches and wiring in accordance with local, state, and NEC regulations
related to electrical equipment and wiring, and following the instructions in this manual. Generated overcurrent may include some amount of
direct current. Using an oversized breaker or fuse may result in electric shock, physical injury or death.
• Do not connect ground wire to refrigerant, gas, or water piping; to lightning rods; to telephone ground wiring; or to the building plumb-
ing system. Failure to properly provide a NEC-approved earth ground can result in electric shock, physical injury or death.
• Consider ambient conditions (temperature, direct sunlight, inclement weather, etc.) when selecting, installing, and connecting the power
wiring.
• Properly ground all outdoor units and indoor units. Ground wiring must always be installed by a qualified technician. Improperly ground wire
can cause communication problems from electrical noise, and motor current leakage.
• If there is a possibility of reversed phase, phase loss, momentary blackout, or the power goes on and off while the system is operating,
install a field-supplied phase loss protection circuit. If the system operates in reversed phase, etc., it may damage the compressors and
other components.
• Install appropriately sized breakers / fuses / overcurrent protection switches and wiring in accordance with local, state, and NEC regulations
related to electrical equipment and wiring, and following the instructions in this manual. Generated overcurrent may include some amount of
direct current. Using an oversized breaker or fuse may result in equipment malfunction and property damage.
• Do not connect ground wire to refrigerant, gas, or water piping; to lightning rods; to telephone ground wiring; or to the building plumb-
ing system. Failure to properly provide a NEC-approved earth ground can result in property damage and equipment malfunction.
• Verify the power imbalance is no greater than 2% between phases at each outdoor unit frame. Power imbalances may damage the com-
pressors and other components.
