IMPORTANT: Wiring shown is typical and not intended to show

detail for a specific installation. Refer to certified field wiring

diagrams.

NOTES:
I. GENERAL
1.0 Starters shall be designed and manufactured in accordance with
Carrier Engineering Requirement Z-375.
1.1 All field-supplied conductors, devices, field-installation wiring, and ter-
minationof conductors and devices must be in compliance with all ap-
plicable codes and job specifications.
1.2 The routing of field-installed conduit and conductors and the location
of field-installed devices must not interfere with equipment access or
the reading, adjusting, or servicing of any component.
1.3 Equipment, installation, and all starting and control devices must com-
ply with details in equipment submittal drawings and literature.
1.4 Contacts and switches are shown in the position they would assume
with the circuit deenergized and the chiller shut down.
1.5 WARNING — Do not use aluminum conductors.
1.6 Installer is responsible for any damage caused by improper wiring be-
tween starter and machine.
II. POWER WIRING TO STARTER
2.0 Power conductor rating must meet minimum unit nameplate voltage
and compressor motor RLA.
When (3) conductors are used:
Minimum ampacity per conductor = 1.25 x compressor RLA
When (6) conductors are used:
Minimum ampacity per conductor = 0.721 x compressor RLA
2.1 Lug adapters may be required if installation conditions dictate that con-
ductorsbe sized beyond the minimum ampacity required. Contact starter
supplier for lug information.
2.2 Compressor motor and controls must be grounded by using equip-
ment grounding lugs provided inside starter enclosure.
III. CONTROL WIRING
3.0 Field supplied control conductors to be at least 18 AWG or larger.
3.1 Chilled water and condenser water flow switch contacts, optional re-
mote start device contacts, and optional spare safety device contacts
must have 24 vdc rating. Max current is 60 mA; nominal current is
10 mA. Switches with gold plated bifurcated contacts are
recommended.
3.2 Remove jumper wire between 12A and 12B before connecting auxil-
iary safeties between these terminals.
3.3 Pilot relays can control cooler and condenser pump and tower fan mo-
tor contactor coil loads rated 10 amps at 115 vac up to 3 amps at
600 vac. Control wiring required for Carrier to start pumps and tower
fanmotors must be provided to assure machine protection. If primary pump
andtower fan motor are controlled by other means, also provide a parallel
meansfor control by Carrier. Do not use starter control transformer as the
power source for pilot relay loads.
3.4 Do not route control wiring carrying 30 v or less within a conduit which has
wires carrying 50 v or higher or alongside wires carrying 50 v or higher.
3.5 Voltage selector switch in machine power panel is factory set for 115 v
controlpower source. When 230 v control power source is used, set switch
to 230 v position.
3.6 Control wiring cables between starter and power panel must be shielded
with minimum rating of 600 v,80 C. Ground shield at starter.
3.7 If optional oil pump circuit breaker is not supplied within the starter enclo-
sure as shown, it must be located within sight of the machine with wiring
routed to suit.
IV. POWER WIRING BETWEEN STARTER AND COMPRESSOR MOTOR
4.0 Low voltage (600 v or less) compressor motors have (6)
3
⁄
4
in.terminal
studs (lead connectors not supplied by Carrier). Either 3 or 6 leads
mustbe run between compressor motor and starter, depending on type
of motor starter employed. If only 3 leads are required, jumper motor
terminals as follows: 1 to 6, 2 to 4, 3 to 5. Center to center distance
betweenterminals is 2
15
⁄
16
inches.Compressor motor starter must have
nameplate stamped as conforming with Carrier requirement Z-375.
4.1 When more than one conduit is used to run conductors from starter to
compressormotor terminal box, one conductor from each phase must
be in each conduit to prevent excessive heating. (e.g., conductors to
motor terminals 1,2&3inoneconduit,and those to 4,5&6in
another.)
4.2 Compressor motor power connections can be made through top, top
rear,or sides of compressor motor terminal box using holes cut by con-
tractorto suit conduit. Flexible conduit should be used for the last few
feetto the terminal box for unit vibration isolation. Use of stress cones
or12 conductors larger than 500 MCM may require an oversize (spe-
cial) motor terminal box (not supplied by Carrier). Lead connections
between3-phase motors and their starters must not be insulated until
Carrier personnel have checked compressor and oil pump rotations.
4.3 Compressor motor frame to be grounded in accordance with the Na-
tionalElectrical Code (NFPA-70) and applicable codes. Means for ground-
ing compressor motor is a pressure connector for No. 4 to 500 MCM
wire,supplied and located in the back lower left side corner of the com-
pressor motor terminal box.
4.4 Do not allow motor terminals to support weight of wire cables. Use cable
supports and strain reliefs as required.
4.5 Use backup wrench when tightening lead connectors to motor terminal
studs. Torqueto 45 lb-ft max.
