Main power wiring should be sized for the minimum wire
ampacity shown on the unit’s database. Size wires in
accordance with the ampacity tables in Article 310 of the
National Electrical Code. If long wires are required, it may be
necessary to increase the wire size to prevent excessive
voltage drop. Wires should be sized for a maximum of 3%
voltage drop.

NOTE: A weather-tight disconnect switch, properly sized
for the unit total load, must be field or factory installed. An
external field supplied disconnect may be mounted on the
exterior panel.
Ensure the data plate is not covered by the field-supplied
disconnect switch.
• Some disconnect switches are not fused. Protect the
power leads at the point of distribution in accordance with
the unit data plate.
• The unit must be electrically grounded in accordance
with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with
the latest edition of the National Electrical Code (ANSI-
NFPA 70). A ground lug is provided for this purpose. Size
grounding conductor in accordance with Table 250-95 of
the National Electrical Code. Do not use the ground lug
for connecting a neutral conductor.
• Connect power wiring to the electrical middle contactor
within the main control box of power block, if equipped.
