ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING:
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal
injury, or death, disconnect all electrical power
to the unit before performing any maintenance
or service. The unit may have more than one
electrical supply.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing the unit. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation
• All electrical connections must be in compliance with
all applicable local codes and ordinances, and with
the current revision of the National Electric Code
(ANSI/NFPA 70).
• For Canadian installations the electrical connections
and grounding shall comply with the current Canadian
Electrical Code (CSA C22.1 and/or local codes).
Pre-Electrical Checklist:
Verify that the voltage, frequency, and phase of the
supply source match the specifi cations on the unit
rating plate. Refer to Table 4 (page 13).
Verify that the service provided by the utility is suffi cient
to handle the additional load imposed by this equipment.
Refer to the unit wiring label for proper high and low
voltage wiring.
Verify factory wiring is in accordance with the unit
wiring diagram (Figure 6, page 14). Inspect for loose
connections.
Phase balance on 3 phase units must always be
checked. See Unbalanced 3-Phase Supply Voltage
section (page 9).
Line Voltage
• A wiring diagram is located on the inside cover of the
electrical box of the outdoor unit. The installer should
become familiar with the wiring diagram before making
any electrical connections to the outdoor unit.
• An electrical disconnect must be located within
sight of and readily accessible to the unit. This
switch shall be capable of electrically de-energizing
the outdoor unit.
• Line voltage to the unit should be supplied from a
dedicated branch circuit containing the correct fuse
or circuit breaker for the unit. Incoming fi eld wiring
and minimum size of electrical conductors and circuit
protection must be in compliance with information listed
on the outdoor unit data label. Any other wiring methods
must be acceptable to authority having jurisdiction.
• The outdoor unit requires both power and control circuit
electrical connections. Refer to the wiring diagram /
schematic (Figures 6 & 7) for identifi cation and location
of outdoor unit fi eld wiring interfaces. Make all electrical
8
connections in accordance with all applicable codes
and ordinances.
• Overcurrent protection must be provided at the branch
circuit distribution panel and sized as shown on the unit
rating label and according to applicable local codes.
See the unit rating plate for minimum circuit ampacity
and maximum overcurrent protection limits.
• Provide power supply for the unit in accordance with the
unit wiring diagram, and the unit rating plate. Connect
the line-voltage leads to the terminals on the contactor
inside the control compartment.
• Use only copper wire for the line voltage power supply
to this unit as listed in Table 1. Use proper code agency
listed conduit and a conduit connector for connecting
the supply wires to the unit. Use of rain tight conduit
is recommended.
• 208/230 Volt units are shipped from the factory wired
for 230 volt operation. For 208V operation, remove the
lead from the transformer terminal marked 240V and
connect it to the terminal marked 208V.
• Optional equipment requiring connection to the power
or control circuits must be wired in strict accordance
of the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70), applicable local codes,
and the instructions provided with the equipment.
Grounding
WARNING:
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted or
unbroken electrical ground to minimize personal
injury if an electrical fault should occur. Do not
use gas piping as an electrical ground
This unit must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70) or the CSA
C22.1 Electrical Code. Use the grounding lug provided in
the control box for grounding the unit.
