Carrier 48MA/50ME016-040 specifications Unit 48MA Electrical Data

Use the following formula to determine the percent volt- age imbalance.

% Voltage Imbalance:

= 100 ×	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 =

1371

=

3

= 457

Determine maximum deviation from average voltage.

(AB) 457 − 45 2 = 5 v (BC) 464 − 45 7 = 7 v (AC) 457 − 45 5 = 2 v

Maximum deviation is 7 v.

Determine percent voltage imbalance:

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

Unit failure as a result of operation on improper line volt- age or excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse and may cause damage to electrical components. See Tables 2-5 for unit, electric heater, and 50ME electrical application elec- trical data.

Each 50ME electric heat unit is ®tted with a heating lock- out circuit (if equipped with optional heat). If any zone mod- ule is operating on mechanical cooling (compressor is op- erating), the heating element in each zone module is locked out and cannot be energized.

On 50ME units, cooling power supply wires and electric heater power supply wires (if applicable) must be sized ac- cording to the cooling MCA (Minimum Circuit Amps) val- ues and heating MCA values shown on unit nameplate and in Tables 3-5. These wires may be powered by a common power supply (i.e., a pull-box junction), if desired. The com- mon power supply wires from the main power source to the junction must be sized according to the common MCA val- ues shown in Table 5.

% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x

UNIT COMMON FEED MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPS Ð The unit common feed MCA is calculated on the basis of

457

= 1.53%

This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is below the maximum allowable 2%.

either: the sum of the cooling MCA plus 1¤2 heating MCA on units with 2 heating elements per zone module (or 2¤3 heat- ing MCA on units with 3 heating elements per zone module) or the sum of the evaporator fan motor full load amps, per NEC, plus the full heating MCA, whichever is larger. Field wiring must conform to NEC limitations for Type T wire.
