2.8 AC ELECTRICAL POWER WIRING

The AERCO Benchmark 3.0 Electrical Power
Wiring Guide, GF-3060, must be consulted prior
to connecting any AC power wiring to the unit.
External AC power connections are made to the
unit inside the Power Box on the front panel of
the unit. Remove the front door of the unit to
access the Power Box mounted directly above
the Control Box. Loosen the four Power Box
cover screws and remove cover to access the
AC terminal connections inside the Power Box
(Figure 2-8).

All electrical conduit and hardware must
be installed so that it does not interfere
with the removal of any unit covers, inhibit
service/maintenance, or prevent access
between the unit and walls or another
unit.

2.8.1 Electrical Power Requirements

The AERCO Benchmark 3.0 Dual-Fuel Boiler is
available in two different AC power configura-
tions:

• 208 VAC/3-Phase/60 @20 amps
• 460 VAC/3-Phase/60 Hz @ 15 amps
Each of the power configurations utilize a Power
Box with a terminal block that matches the
configuration ordered. The two different terminal
block configurations are shown in Figure 2-9. A
wiring diagram showing the required AC power
connections is provided on the front cover of the
Power Box.

Each Benchmark 3.0 Dual-Fuel Boiler must be
connected to a dedicated electrical circuit. NO
OTHER DEVICES SHOULD BE ON THE SAME
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT AS THE BENCHMARK
UNIT.

A double-pole switch must be installed on the
electrical supply line in an easily accessible
location to quickly and safely disconnect
electrical service. DO NOT attach the switch to
sheet metal enclosures of the unit.

After placing the boiler in service, the ignition
safety shutoff device must be tested. If an
external electrical power source is used, the
installed boiler must be electrically bonded to
ground in accordance with the requirements of
the authority having jurisdiction. In the absence
of such requirements, the installation shall
conform to National Electrical Code (NEC),
ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or the Canadian Electrical
Code (CEC) Part I, CSA C22.1 Electrical Code.
