Permanent Connection; Wire Connection - Fisher & Paykel RIV3 Installation Manual

These ranges must be connected to the power supply utilizing one of the following methods. For all methods of connection, the length of the cord or conduit/wiring must allow the unit
to be slid completely out of the cabinet without having to unplug or disconnect the unit from the power supply. Recommended minimum free length of cord or conduit is 4ft (1.2m).
Electrical installations and grounding must be in accordance with all local codes and ordinances, and/or the National Electric Code, as applicable.
These ranges are provided with a factory-installed power supply cord for connection to a 4-wire electrical system (two Supply wires, one Neutral wire and a Grounding connection). Grounding
through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC), mobile homes, and recreational vehicles, or in an area where local codes prohibit grounding through
the neutral conductor. This appliance is not suitable for cord-connected installations where grounding is permitted through the neutral without changing the power supply connections.
When installed in older installations where it is permitted to ground through the neutral, the 4-conductor cord or cable assembly must be replaced by permanent connection (hard wired) using
a 3-conductor cord or cable assembly. See manufacturer's instructions.

PERMANENT CONNECTION

Units may be hard wired to the power supply.
The installer must provide approved flexible steel conduit,
maximum 6ft (1.8m) long. Locate the terminal block on
the rear of the unit and remove access cover.
The strain relief bracket orientation must be switched in
order to accommodate for a permanent wiring connection.
This is done by the following:
1 Remove the 4 screws on the bracket.
2 Re-secure bracket with the four screws so that the
1 1/8" (29mm) smaller opening is orientated over the
opening of the back panel.

The conduit must be installed to the terminal block
z
using an approved conduit connector. The free end
of the conduit must be connected to a junction box
provided in the electrical supply zone.
Mount a strain relief (not provided) into the 1 1/8"
z
(29mm) diameter hole located below the terminal block.
Wiring for the unit is to be brought into the terminal
block through the conduit and through the strain relief.
The ends of the wiring must have 1/4" faston closed
loop lugs attached. Make suitable connections to the
terminal block provided.
See 4-wire and 3-wire connection on the right.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
1 Secure the Neutral (white) power lead, to the center
stud (silver colored) of the terminal block with nut.
2 Secure the L1 (black) and L2 (red) power leads to
the outside terminal studs (brass colored) with nuts.
3 Secure the Ground (green) power lead to the back
of the range with the screw located beneath the
terminal block.
4 Tighten all connections securely.
5 Reinstall the Terminal Block Cover.

3-WIRE LEAD CONNECTION
1 Secure the L1 (black) and L2 (red) power leads
to the outside corresponding terminal block studs
(brass colored).
2 Secure Neutral (white), grounded wire of the supply
circuit and reconnect one end of the mounted loop
Ground wire, located beneath the terminal block, up
through the ferrites to the centre stud (silver colored)
of the terminal block with nut.
3 Leave the other end of the Ground wire screwed
into the back of the range.
4 Tighten nuts securely.
5 Reinstall the Terminal Block Cover.

3-CONDUCTOR CORD
Normally, a unit must be connected to the power supply
with a 3-pole, 4-conductor cord rated 125/250 volts, 50
amperes. Where Local Codes and Ordinances permit
grounding through neutral, the unit may be connected to
the power supply with a 3-pole, 3-conductor separately
purchased power supply cord kit rated 125/250 volts, 50
amperes, and marked for use with electric ranges.
The cord kit must be attached to the range back panel
with a strain relief which will fit a 1 – 1/2" (38mm) diameter
hole. If not already equipped, the cord must also have
1/4" (6mm) faston closed-loop lugs attached to the free
ends of the individual conductors.
1 Remove upper nuts only from terminal block studs.
Do not remove lower nuts which secure range wiring
leads. Remove and retain the 2 ferrites.
2 Mount strain relief (not provided with range) into
the 1-1/2" (38mm) diameter hole in the bracket
located below the terminal block. Route the wires up
through strain relief.
3 Route L1 (Black), L2 (Red) and Neutral (White) wires
through ferrites.
