Carrier 38AKS028-044 dimensions Electrical Data

Power Supply Ð Electrical characteristics of available power supply must agree with unit nameplate rating. Supply voltage must be within limits shown in Table 3.

IMPORTANT: Operating unit on improper supply volt- age, or with excessive phase imbalance, constitutes abuse and may affect Carrier warranty. See Unbalanced 3-Phase Supply Voltage, page 7.

Power Wiring Ð All power wiring must comply with applicable local and national codes. Install ®eld-supplied branch circuit fused disconnect(s) per NEC (National Electrical Code, U.S.A.) of a type that can be locked OFF or OPEN. Dis- connect(s) must be within sight from and readily accessible from unit in compliance with NEC Article 440-14.

GENERAL WIRING NOTES

1.A crankcase heater is wired in the control circuit so it is always operable as long as power supply disconnect is on, even if any safety device is open or unit stop-start switch is off. It is protected by a 5-amp circuit breaker in control power.

2.The power circuit ®eld supply disconnect should never be open except when unit is being serviced or is to be down for a prolonged period. When operation is resumed, crank- case heater should be energized for 24 hours before start- up. If unit is to be shut down for a prolonged period, it is recommended that the suction and discharge valves be

closed to prevent an excessive accumulation of refriger- ant in the compressor oil.

3.Power entry is one end only.

4.Maximum ®eld wire sizes allowed by lugs on terminal block are:

UNIT	V-Ph-Hz	WIRE
38AKS		SIZE*
028	208/230-3-60
034	208/230-3-60
	230-3-50	350 kcmil
044	208/230-3-60
	230-3-50
LEGEND

AWG Ð American Wire Gage kcmil Ð Thousand Circular Mils

*All other units use 2/0 AWG (67.4 mm2).

5.Terminals for ®eld power supply are suitable for copper, copper-clad aluminum, or aluminum conductors. Insula- tion must be rated 167 F (75 C) minimum.

CONDENSER FANS Ð The fans must rotate counterclock- wise when viewed from above. If necessary, correct direc- tion of fan rotation by interchanging any 2 power input wires at disconnect switch. Affix crankcase heater decal (located in installer's packet) to unit disconnect switch.
