*Heater capacity (kW) is based on heater voltage of 208 v, 240 v, and 480 v. Heaters are rated at 240 v, or 480 v. If power distribution volt- age to unit varies from rated heater voltage, heater kW will vary accordingly.

†Fuse or HACR circuit breaker. **Heaters are field installed only.

NOTES:

1.In compliance with NEC requirements for multimotor and combina- tion load equipment (refer to NEC Articles 430 and 440), the overcur- rent protective device for the unit shall be fuse or HACR breaker. Canadian units may be fuse or circuit breaker.

2.Unbalanced 3-Phase Supply Voltage

Never operate a motor where a phase imbalance in supply voltage is greater than 2%. Use the following formula to determine the percent of voltage imbalance.

% Voltage Imbalance

= 100 x

max voltage deviation from average voltage

average voltage

 

Example: Supply voltage is 460-3-60.

AB = 452 v

BC = 464 v

AC = 455 v

452 + 464 + 455

Average Voltage =

=

= 457

Determine maximum deviation from average voltage. (AB) 457 – 452 = 5 v

(BC) 464 – 457 = 7 v (AC) 457 – 455 = 2 v

Maximum deviation is 7 v.

Determine percent of voltage imbalance.

% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x 457

= 1.53%

This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is below the maxi- mum allowable 2%.

IMPORTANT: If the supply voltage phase imbalance is more than 2%, contact your local electric utility company immediately.

3.MCA calculation for units with electric heaters over 50 kW = (1.25 x IFM amps) + (1.00 x heater FLA).
