Electrical data
* Permissible limits of the voltage range at which unit will operate satisfactorily.
† If wire is applied at ambient greater than 30°C (86°F), consult Table 310-16 of the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70). The ampacity of nonmetallic-sheathed
cable (NM), trade name ROMEX, shall be that of 60°C (140°F) conductors, per the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70) Article 336-26. If other than uncoated
(non-plated), 60 or 75°C (140 or 167°F) insulation, copper wire (solid wire for 10 AWG and smaller, stranded wire for larger than 10 AWG) is used,
consult applicable tables of the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70).
‡ Length shown is as measured 1 way along wire path between unit and service panel for voltage drop not to exceed 2%.
** Time-delay fuse.
FLA — Full Load Amps
LRA — Locked Rotor Arms
MCA — Minimum Circuit Amps
RLA — Rated Load Amps
NOTE: Control circuit is 24-v on all units and requires external power source. Copper wire must be used from service disconnect to unit. All motors/
compressors contain internal overload protection.
