considerations.

††If the concentration of these corrosives exceeds the maximum allowable level, then the potential for serious corrosion problems exists.

Sulfides in the water quickly oxidize when exposed to air, requiring that no agita- tion occur as the sample is taken. Unless tested immediately at the site, the sam- ple will require stabilization with a few drops of one Molar zinc acetate solution, allowing accurate sulfide determination up to 24 hours after sampling. A low pH and high alkalinity cause system problems, even when both values are within ranges shown. The term pH refers to the acidity, basicity, or neutrality of the water supply. Below 7.0, the water is considered to be acidic. Above 7.0, water is con- sidered to be basic. Neutral water contains a pH of 7.0.

NOTE: To convert ppm to grains per gallon, divide by 17. Hardness in mg/l is equiv- alent to ppm.

Step 7 — Connect Electrical Wiring

WARNING

Electrical shock can cause personal injury and death. Shut off all power to this equipment during installation. There may be more than one disconnect switch. Tag all discon- nect locations to alert others not to restore power until work is completed.

CAUTION

Use only copper conductors for field-installed electrical wiring. Unit terminals are not designed to accept other types of conductors.

All field installed wiring, including the electrical ground, MUST comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) as well as applicable local codes. In addition, all field wiring must conform to the Class II temperature limitations described in the NEC.

Refer to unit wiring diagrams in Fig. 6-16 for a schematic of the field connections which must be made by the installing (or electrical) contractor.

Consult the unit wiring diagram located on the inside of the compressor access panel to ensure proper electrical hookup. The installing (or electrical) contractor must make the field connections when using field-supplied disconnect.

Operating voltage must be the same voltage and phase as shown in electrical data shown in Table 3.

Make all final electrical connections with a length of flexi- ble conduit to minimize vibration and sound transmission to the building.

SUPPLY VOLTAGE — Operating voltage to unit must be within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate.

On 3-phase units, voltages under load between phases must be balanced within 2%. Use the following formula to deter- mine the percentage voltage imbalance:
