5 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Please refer to the certified dimensional drawings, supplied with 
the unit.

5.1 - Power supply

The power supply must conform to the specification on the unit 
nameplate. The supply voltage must be within the range specified 
in the electrical data table. For connection details refer to the wiring
diagrams.
WARNING: Operation of the unit with an improper supply voltage or
excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse which will invalidate
the Carrier warranty. If the phase imbalance exceeds 2% for
voltage, or 10% for current, contact your local electricity supplier
at once and ensure that the unit is not switched on until corrective
measures have been taken.

5.2 - Voltage phase imbalance (%)

100 x max. deviation from average voltage
Average voltage
Example:
On a 400 V - 3 ph - 50 Hz supply, the individual phase voltages
were measured to be:
AB = 406 V; BC = 399 V; AC = 394 V
Average voltage = (406 + 399 + 394)/3 = 1199/3
= 399.7 say 400 V
Calculate the maximum deviation from the 400 V average:
(AB) = 406 - 400 = 6
(BC) = 400 - 399 = 1
(CA) = 400 - 394 = 6
The maximum deviation from the average is 6 V. The greatest
percentage deviation is: 100 x 6/400 = 1.5 %

(2) Selection simultation result considering the hypothesis indicated.
(3) If the maximum calculated section is for an XLPE cable type, this means that a selection based on a PVC cable type can exceed the connection capacity actually
available. Special attention must be given to the selection.
Note: The currents considered are given for a machine equipped with a hydraulic module operating at maximum current.

This is less than the permissible 2% and is therefore acceptable.

5.3 - Power connection/disconnect switch

30XW-V/30XWHV 580-880 units have one connection point
30XW-V/30XWHV 1150-1710:
• Standard unit: two connection points
• Unit with option 81: one connection point.

5.4 - Recommended wire sections

Wire sizing is the responsibility of the installer, and depends on the
characteristics and regulations applicable to each installation site.
The following is only to be used as a guide-line, and does not make
in any way liable. After wire sizing has been completed, using the
certified  dimensional  drawing,  the  installer  must  ensure  easy 
connection and define any modifications necessary on site. The 
connections provided as standard for the field-supplied power entry 
cables to the general disconnect/isolator switch are designed for
the number and type of wires, listed in the second column of the
table below.
The calculations for favourable and unfavourable cases are based
on the maximum current for each unit (see electrical data tables).
For the design the standardised installation methods in accordance
with IEC 60364 are used: multicon-ductor PVC (70°C) or XLPE
(90°C) insulated cables with copper core; arrangement to comply
with table 52c of the above standard. The maximum temperature is
42°C. The given maximum length is calculated to limit the voltage
drop to 5%.

5.5 - Power cable entry

The power cables can enter the control box from above the unit.
A removable aluminium plate on the upper part of the control box
face allows introduction of the cables. Refer to the certified
dimensional drawing for the unit.
