10.1 Electrical High Voltage Wiring
Refer to the unit's electrical data on the unit's nameplate for wire and branch circuit
protection sizing. Supply power voltage and phasing must match the required
voltage and phasing shown on the unit's nameplate.
Route the power-supply wiring through the knockout opening located in the high
voltage electrical box. Refer to Figure 3
Always connect the ground lead to the grounding lug provided in the unit. Follow
the unit's wiring diagram and the following instructions for power leads and ground
connection depending on unit options.
10.1.1 Standard Unit's Power Supply
For standard models, power is connected to the line (L) side of the compressor
contactor and the ground to the ground lug in the unit high voltage electrical box.
10.1.2 Units with Disconnect Switch Power Supply
For models with disconnect switches, connect the field power to the marked
terminals on the disconnect switch, and the ground to the ground lug.
