Power Wiring Specifications and Best Practices

Power Supply / Power Wiring Specifications
• Single Zone systems operate at 1Ø, 208-230V, 60Hz.
• Power supply, wire type and size should be selected based on National Electrical Code and local codes. Maximum allowable voltage
fluctuation ±10% or nameplate rated value. Refer to Figure 54 for wiring guidelines.
• Properly ground the Single Zone outdoor unit and indoor unit per National Electrical Code and local codes.
• Use only copper wiring that is stranded and shielded with the wires separately insulated.
• Ground wire should be longer than the common power/communication wires.
• Refer to the inside of the Chassis Cover for Circuit and Terminal Block Diagrams for your model unit.
• Always match color codes of each wire and follow wiring diagram.
connecting the Power Wiring guidelines
Best practice dictates using ring or spade terminals to terminate power wiring at the
power terminal block (Figure 55).
If ring terminals or spade clips are not available, then:
Do not terminate different gauge wires to the power terminal block. Slack in the wiring may
generate heat and fire.
• When terminating wires of the same thickness, follow the instructions demonstrat-
ed in the illustrations below at Figure 56.
• Firmly attach the wire; secure in a way to prevent external forces from being
imparted on the terminal block.
• Use an appropriately sized screwdriver for tightening the terminals.
• Do not over tighten the connections; overtightening may damage the terminals.
