Step 4 — Make Electrical Connections

POWER SUPPLY — Electrical characteristics of available
power supply must agree with unit nameplate rating. Supply
voltage must be within the limits shown in Tables 10A or
10B, 11 and 12. See Table 13 for control circuit data and
Table 14 for fan motor electrical data.

IMPORTANT: Operation of unit on improper supply
voltage or with excessive phase imbalance constitutes
abuse and can affect any Carrier warranty.

FIELD POWER CONNECTIONS — All power wiring must
comply with applicable local and national codes. Install field-
supplied, branch circuit safety disconnect(s) of a type that
can be locked off/open. Disconnects must be located within
sight of, and readily accessible from, the unit in compliance
with NEC (National Electrical Code) (U.S.A. Standard)
Article 440-14.

All field power enters the unit through a hole in the con-

trol box shelf. Refer to Fig. 20-28 for field wiring details.

MAIN POWER — Units 38AH044-104 have single-point
power connection to simplify field-power wiring (all power
enters at one end). Units 38AH124 and 134 require 2 con-
nection points, one for each module. Units may use copper,
copper-clad aluminum, or aluminum conductors at all volt-
ages. The maximum wire size units can accept per terminal
block is 500 kcmil.

Power must be supplied as shown in Table 15.

CONTROL CIRCUIT WIRING — Control circuit wiring is
accomplished with a step-down transformer on voltage des-
ignations 500, 600, and 100 in table below where the pri-
mary voltage is field voltage. For 208/230-v, 3-ph, 60-Hz
units, ensure that the transformer primary is wired properly
for the voltage which will be applied. All control wiring must
comply with applicable local and national codes. The safety
circuits are 24 v on all units. The safety circuit voltage is
created with a step-down transformer where main control
voltage is the transformer primary voltage.

See Table 13 for control circuit information.
