2.10 AC ELECTRICAL POWER WIRING
For electrical power requirements and wiring diagrams for Benchmark Platinum 5000 and –
6000 units, both domestic and international, see the AERCO's Benchmark Electrical Power
Guide, TAG-0048 (GF-2060). This guide must be consulted prior to connecting any AC power
wiring to the unit.
2.10.1 Electrical Power Requirements
Each unit must be connected to a dedicated electrical circuit. NO OTHER DEVICES SHOULD
BE ON THE SAME ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT AS THE BOILER.
A double-pole switch must be installed on the electrical supply line in an easily accessible
location to quickly and safely disconnect electrical service. DO NOT attach the switch to sheet
metal enclosures of the unit.
After placing the unit in service, the ignition safety shutoff device must be tested. If an external
electrical power source is used, the installed boiler must be electrically bonded to ground in
accordance with the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of such
requirements, the installation shall conform to National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70
and/or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Part I, CSA C22.1 Electrical Code.
2.10.2 Power Box Location
External AC power connections are made to the unit inside the Power Box on the front of the
unit. Remove the front panel to access the Power Box, which is mounted in the upper right
corner of the unit as shown in Figure 2-11. Loosen the two upper screws of the Power Box
cover and remove cover to access the internal connections shown in Figure 2-12.
