Supply Power Wiring
1. Units require three-phase power supply.
2. Allowable voltage tolerances:
a. 60 Hertz
Nameplate 208V: Min.187V, Max. 229V
Nameplate 230V: Min.207V, Max. 253V
Nameplate 460V: Min.414V, Max. 506V
Nameplate 575V: Min.518V, Max. 632V
b. 50 Hertz
Nameplate 400V: Min. 342V, Max. 418V
3. Power lead wire sizing:
a. For units with cooling capability (all concurrent loads)
with or without hot water heating and circuits with
motor loads only:
MCA = 1.25 (largest motor RLA or FLA) + other loads
+ 2 amps.
b. For units with cooling capability and nonconcurrent
electric heat capability:
In the cooling mode, the loads will be composed of sup-
ply fan motor and compressors. In heating mode, the
loads will be composed of supply fan motor and electric
heater. The MCA is calculated for unit running in either
mode; the highest value obtained is used for the MCA.
(1)For unit in cooling mode:
MCA = 1.25 (largest RLA or FLA) + other loads + 2
amps.
(2)For unit in heating mode:
MCA = 1.25 (electric heat FLA + Fan FLA) + 2 amps.
4. Size wires in accordance with Table 310-16 or 310-19 of
the National Electrical Code.
5. Wires should be sized for a maximum of 3% voltage
drop.
