*Fuse or HACR circuit breaker.
NOTES:
1. In compliance with NEC requirements (U.S.A. Standard) for
multimotor and combination load equipment (refer to NEC Arti-
cles 430 and 440), the overcurrent protective device for the unit
shall be fuse or HACR breaker.
2. Unbalanced 3-Phase Supply Voltage
Never operate a motor where a phase imbalance in supply volt-
age is greater than 2%. Use the following formula to determine
the percent of voltage imbalance.
% Voltage Imbalance
Example: Supply voltage is 400-3-50.
AB = 393 v
BC = 403 v
AC = 396 v
= 397
Determine maximum deviation from average voltage.
(AB) 397 – 393 = 4 v
(BC) 403 – 397 = 6 v
(AC) 397 – 396 = 1 v
Maximum deviation is 6 v.
Determine percent of voltage imbalance.
% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x
= 1.5%
This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is below the
maximum allowable 2%.
Route thermostat cable or equivalent single leads of colored
wire from thermostat subbase terminals to low-voltage connec-
tions on unit (shown in Fig. 10) as described in Steps 1-4
below.
1. If unit is mounted on roof curb and accessory thru-the-
curb service plate connection is used, route wire through
connection plate.
2. Pass control wires through the hole provided on unit (see
connection D in Connection Sizes table in Fig. 6).
3. Feed wires through the raceway built into the corner post
to the 24-v barrier located on the left side of the control
box. See Fig. 11. The raceway provides the UL-required
(Underwriters’ Laboratories) clearance between high-
and low-voltage wiring.
4. Connect thermostat wires to screw terminals on low-
voltage connection board.
HEAT ANTICIPATOR SETTINGS — Set heat anticipator
settings at .14 amp for the first stage and .20 amp for second-
stage heating, except for 008 low heat. Set both first and sec-
ond stage heat anticipator settings for 008 at .14 amp.
