DRd Enclosure Installation Manual

Connect Load Wires

Load wires are terminated to the load lugs on the right side of the enclosure. In 120V AC

and 240/277V AC DRd enclosures, load neutral and load ground wires are terminated to

the terminal strips on the back panel. In 230V AC enclosure types, load neutrals are

connected to the left side of the enclosure, stacked on top of the input feeds to maintain a

true neutral disconnect.

Phase balancing of the loads is set from within the Architectural Control Processor “Dimmer

Setup” menu. Reference the related Architectural Control Processor configuration manual

for details.

W A R N I N G :

Use of emergency modules (ED15AFE or ER15AFE) in CE 230V DRd

enclosures require the neutral (N) lug in place of the neutral jumper per

module.

C A U T I O N :

A two-wire circuit with separate hot/live and neutral conductors is required for

every branch circuit that will be connected to the DRd. Shared neutral (multi wire)

branch circuit arrangements are not recommended for phase-control dimming

systems due to harmonics and potentially elevated neutral currents in a shared

neutral arrangement.
For retrofit installations where shared neutral circuits are already installed, or

enclosure lighting installations where the enclosure has a shared neutral, consult

ETC Technical Services for installation guidelines.

230V AC DRd enclosures have a

neutral disconnect bus structure.

This design places neutral lugs

on the same side of the enclosure

as the main feeds. Neutral output

lugs are numbered on the filter

PCB. It is important to wire hot

and neutral from each load to the

corresponding numbered

outputs.
