Proper Ground And Voltage - Haier GE NF96DV Service Manual

Proper Ground and Voltage

A poorly grounded furnace can contribute to premature
ignitor failure. Use the following procedure to check for
ground and voltage to the integrated control.
1. Measure the AC voltage between Line Neutral (spade
terminals) and "C" terminal (low voltage terminal
block) on the integrated control. See Figure 45. A wide
variation in the voltage between Line Neutral and "C"
as a function of load indicates a poor or partial ground.
Compare the readings to Table 17. If the readings
exceed the maximum shown in Table 17, make repairs
before operating the furnace.
CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN LINE NEUTRAL
AND LOW VOLTAGE "C" TERMINAL
1. In addition, measure the AC voltage from Line Hot
to Line Neutral (spade terminals) on the integrated
control. See Figure 45. This voltage should be in the
range of 97 to 132 VAC
