    Electrical Data ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The required field wiring varies depending on the configuration of the unit. Refer to page 38 for wiring diagram information. Voltage limitations are: 1. Within 10 percent of nameplate rating. 2. Voltage unbalance must not exceed 2 percent. Since a voltage unbalance of 2% can cause a current unbalance of 6 to 10 times the voltage unbalance per NEMA MG-1, it is important that phase-to-phase unbalance be kept to a minimum.
  • Page 37 Electrical Data Transfer back to the grid Proper transfer of power from the standby generator to the grid is essential to prevent damage to the chiller and must be used to ensure proper operation of the unit. WARNING Stop the chiller before transferring power from the generator to the mains. Transferring power while the chiller is running can cause serious damage to the chiller.

For basic superheat control, one Evaporator temperature sensor (TetempeatureValue), and one pressure sensor (suction pressure) are needed. The actual superheat is calculated based on these two sensor readings, and the controller will adjust the OD (open Degree) of the valve to bring the superheat to the desired reference.
