6. ELECTRICAL WIRING
Electrical work must be performed in accordance with this Manual by a person certifi ed
under the national or regional regulations. Be sure to use a dedicated circuit for the
unit.
An insuffi cient power supply circuit or improperly performed electrical work can cause
serious accidents such as electric shock or fi re.
Before starting work, check that power is not being supplied to the all units.
For wiring, use the prescribed type of wires, connect them securely, making sure that
there are no external forces of the wires applied to the terminal connections.
Improperly connected or secured wires can cause serious accidents such as
overheating the terminals, electric shock, or fi re.
Securely install the electrical box cover on the unit.
An improperly installed electrical box cover can cause serious accidents such as
electric shock or fi re through exposure to dust or water.
Install sleeves into any holes made in the walls for wiring. Otherwise, a short circuit
could result.
Use the included connection cables and power cables or ones specified by the
manufacturer. Improper connections, insuffi cient insulation, or exceeding the allowable
current can cause electric shock or fi re.
Do not modify the power cables, use extension cables, or use any branches in the
wiring. Improper connections, insuffi cient insulation, or exceeding the allowable current
can cause electric shock or fi re.
Match the terminal block numbers and connection cable colors with those of the
outdoor unit (or RB unit). Erroneous wiring may cause burning of the electric parts.
Securely connect the connection cables to the terminal board. In addition, secure the
cables with wiring holders. Improper connections, either in the wiring or at the ends of
the wiring, can cause a malfunction, electric shock, or fi re.
Always fasten the outside covering of the connection cable with the cable clamp. (If the
insulator is chafed, electric leakage may occur.)
Install an earth leakage breaker. In addition, install the earth leakage breaker so that
the entire AC main power supply is cut off at the same time. Otherwise, electric shock
or fi re could result.
Always connect the earth (ground) cable.
Improper earthing (grounding) work can cause electric shocks.
Install the remote controller cables so as not to be direct touched with your hand.
Perform wiring work in accordance with standards so that the air conditioner can be
operated safely and positively.
Connect the connection cables fi rmly to the terminal board. Imperfect installation may
cause a fi re.
If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualifi ed persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Earth (Ground) the unit.
Do not connect the earth (ground) cable to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or a
telephone earth (ground) cable.
Improper earthing (grounding) may cause electric shock.
Do not connect power supply cables to the transmission or remote controller terminals,
as this will damage the product.
Never bundle the power supply cable and transmission cable, remote controller cable
together.
Separate these cable by 50 mm or more.
Bundling these cables together will cause miss operation or breakdown.
When handling PCB, static electricity charged in the body may cause malfunction of
the PCB. Follow the cautions below:
• Establish an earth (ground) for the indoor and outdoor units and peripheral devices.
• Cut power (breaker) off.
• Touch metal part of the indoor unit for more than 10 seconds to discharge static electricity
charged in the body.
• Do not touch terminals of parts and patterns implemented on PCB.

• Select the power cable type and size in accordance with relevant local and national
regulations.
• Specifi cations for local wiring power cord and branch wiring are in compliance with local
code.
• Max. wire length: Set a length so that the voltage drop is less than 2%. Increase the wire
diameter when the wire length is long.
Breaker should be installed at every refrigerant system. Do not use a breaker in a different
refrigerant system.
Refer to the table for the breaker specifi cations of each installation condition. Perform
the power crossover wiring within the range of the same refrigerant system. When the
crossover wiring is done, make a connection for indoor units to satisfy conditions A and B
below.

When the power crossover wiring is done, make it so that the total of the MCA of the
connected RB units and indoor units does not exceed the 15 A. For RB unit MCA, refer to
the RB unit installation manual.
If the capacity of connected RB units and indoor units exceeds the upper limit, either add
breakers or use a breaker with a greater capacity.
B. Earth leakage breaker requirements
Breaker capacity
30 mA, 0.1 sec or less
100 mA, 0.1 sec or less
* Heat pump type: indoor units, Heat recovery type: indoor units and RB units.
** If the 100 mA capacity breaker is not provided, split the quantity of the indoor units into
small groups of 44 units or less and provide a breaker with capacity of 30 mA for each
group.
