Power And Control Wiring
Field wiring to the unit, fuses, and disconnects must conform to
provisions of National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA No.
70 – Latest Edition (in U.S.A.), current Canadian Electrical
Code C221, and/or local ordinances. The unit must be
electrically grounded in accordance with NEC and CEC as
specified above and/or local codes.
Voltage tolerances which must be maintained at the
compressor terminals during starting and running conditions are
indicated on the unit Rating Plate and Table 1.
The internal wiring harnesses furnished with this unit are an
integral part of the design certified unit. Field alteration to
comply with electrical codes should not be required. If any of
the wire supplied with the unit must be replaced, replacement
wire must be of the type shown on the wiring diagram and the
same minimum gauge as the replaced wire.
A disconnect must be utilized for these units. Factory installed
disconnects are available. If installing a disconnect (field
supplied or UPG supplied accessory), refer to Figure 1 for the
recommended mounting location.
Avoid damage to internal components if drilling holes for
disconnect mounting.

NOTE: Since not all local codes allow the mounting of a
disconnect on the unit, please confirm compliance with
local code before mounting a disconnect on the unit.
Electrical line must be sized properly to carry the load. USE
COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY. Each unit must be wired with
a separate branch circuit fed directly from the meter panel and
properly fused.
Refer to Figures 11 and 12 for typical field wiring and to the
appropriate unit wiring diagram mounted inside control doors
for control circuit and power wiring information.
When connecting electrical power and control wiring to
the unit, water-proof connectors must be used so that
water or moisture cannot be drawn into the unit during
normal operation. The above water-proofing conditions
will also apply when installing a field supplied disconnect
switch.
Power Wiring Detail
Units are factory wired for the voltage shown on the unit
nameplate. Refer to Electrical Data Table 7 to size power
wiring, fuses, and disconnect switch.
Power wiring is brought into the unit through the side of the unit
or the basepan inside the curb.
