Set 2: Rooftop units with Electric Heat
To arrive at the correct MCA and MOP values for these
units, two sets of calculations must be performed. First
calculate the MCA and MOP values as if the unit was in
cooling mode (use the equations given in Set 1). Then
calculate the MCA and MOP values as if the unit were in
heating mode as follows. (Keep in mind when determining
LOADS that the compressors don't run while the unit is in
heating mode).
MCA = 1.25 x (LOAD1 + LOAD2 + LOAD4) + LOAD3
The nameplate MCA value will be the larger of the cooling
mode MCA value or the heating mode MCA value
calculated above.
MOP = (2.25 x LOAD1) + LOAD2 + LOAD3 + LOAD4
The selection MOP value will be the larger of the cooling
mode MOP value or the heating mode MOP value
calculated above.
Select a fuse rating equal to the MOP value. If the MOP
value does not equal a standard fuse size as listed in NEC
240-6, select the next lower standard fuse rating.
Notes:
• If selected MOP is less than the MCA, then
select the lowest standard maximum fuse size
which is equal to or larger than the MCA,
provided the selected fuse size does not
exceed 800 amps.
• On 90 to 150 ton rooftops, the selected MOP
value is stamped in the MOP field on the unit
nameplate.
