This weather resistant NEMA 3R Power Control Center comes complete with a twenty-four hour on/off timer,
magnetic contactor with overload relay, surge arrestor, disconnect, overcurrent protection, HOA switch, and
ground fault protection (where applicable). All internal connections are pre-wired. All electrical specifications
are located on the door of the Otterbine Power Control Center. Otterbine recommends that all ELECTRICAL
WORK BE DONE BY A QUALIFIED, LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. Make sure that all electrical work
conforms with local, state and national electrical codes.
NOTE: Otterbine suggests coordinating electrical installation with physical installation. The electrician will
need to be on hand for a one minute dry-run test of the unit and will also need to check the running amperage
after installation. These electrical tests are a crucial part of the installation process and should not be
ignored.
