Carrier 48MA/50ME016-040 - Manual (Page 11)

Use the following formula to determine the percent volt-
age imbalance.
% Voltage Imbalance:
max voltage deviation from average voltage
= 100 ×
average voltage
EXAMPLE: Supply voltage is 460-3-60.
AB = 452 v
BC = 464 v
AC = 455 v
452 + 464 + 455
Average Voltage =
3
1371
=
3
= 457
Determine maximum deviation from average voltage.
(AB) 457 − 452 = 5 v
(BC) 464 − 457 = 7 v
(AC) 457 − 455 = 2 v
Maximum deviation is 7 v.
Determine percent voltage imbalance:
7
% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x
457
= 1.53%
This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is below
the maximum allowable 2%.
IMPORTANT: If the supply voltage phase imbalance
is more than 2%, contact your local electric utility com-
pany immediately.
Unit failure as a result of operation on improper line volt-
age or excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse and may
cause damage to electrical components. See Tables 2-5 for
unit, electric heater, and 50ME electrical application elec-
trical data.
Each 50ME electric heat unit is fitted with a heating lock-
out circuit (if equipped with optional heat). If any zone mod-
ule is operating on mechanical cooling (compressor is op-
erating), the heating element in each zone module is locked
out and cannot be energized.
On 50ME units, cooling power supply wires and electric
heater power supply wires (if applicable) must be sized ac-
cording to the cooling MCA (Minimum Circuit Amps) val-
ues and heating MCA values shown on unit nameplate and
in Tables 3-5. These wires may be powered by a common
power supply (i.e., a pull-box junction), if desired. The com-
mon power supply wires from the main power source to the
junction must be sized according to the common MCA val-
ues shown in Table 5.
UNIT COMMON FEED MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPS —
The unit common feed MCA is calculated on the basis of
either: the sum of the cooling MCA plus
1 ⁄
2
heating MCA on
units with 2 heating elements per zone module (or 2 ⁄
3
heat-
ing MCA on units with 3 heating elements per zone module)
or the sum of the evaporator fan motor full load amps, per
NEC, plus the full heating MCA, whichever is larger. Field
wiring must conform to NEC limitations for Type T wire.
