ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Some models require a 115/120-volt AC, 60-Hz grounded outlet protected with a

15-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker..

The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the possibility of electric shock hazard.. If the wall outlet you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet, it is your responsibility to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet..

Some models require 230/208-volt AC, protected with a time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.. These models should be installed on their own single branch circuit for best performance and to prevent overloading house or apartment wiring circuits, which could cause a possible fire hazard from overheating wires..

CAUTION:

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not change the plug on the power cord of this air conditioner.

Aluminum house wiring may present special problems—consult a qualified electrician.

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

 

Phillips head screwdriver

 

Flat-blade screwdriver

Pencil

Ruler or tape measure

Level

Scissors or knife

Power cord includes a current interrupter device.. A test and reset button is provided on the plug case.. The device should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button while plugged into the outlet.. If the TEST button does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician..

AEM2, AEQ2 specifications

General Electric (GE) has long been recognized as a leader in manufacturing advanced electrical equipment, and among its standout products are the AEQ2 and AEM2 circuit breakers. Both devices integrate cutting-edge technologies and feature sets that cater to the evolving demands of modern electrical systems.

The AEQ2, renowned for its compact design, combines reliability with high performance. One of its primary features is the application of state-of-the-art electronic trip units, which provide precise overload and short-circuit protection. This technology ensures that the circuit breaker can swiftly detect faults and interrupt power to prevent damage to downstream equipment. Additionally, the AEQ2 is equipped with advanced communication capabilities, allowing for seamless integration into supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. This level of connectivity facilitates real-time monitoring and data analysis, enhancing operational efficiency and reliability.

On the other hand, the AEM2 circuit breaker represents another leap forward in smart electrical distribution. Its design focuses on energy efficiency and sustainability. The AEM2 incorporates energy metering capabilities, enabling users to monitor their power consumption accurately. Furthermore, this breaker features a modular architecture, permitting customized configurations to meet specific application needs. The selective coordination capabilities of the AEM2 ensure that only the affected section of a system is de-energized during fault conditions, maintaining power to critical loads and minimizing disruptions.

Both circuit breakers utilize GE’s advanced arc-extinguishing technology, which promotes safety and longevity. This technology helps to extinguish arcs more effectively during fault conditions, thus increasing the overall lifespan of the breaker. The AEQ2 and AEM2 are designed to operate efficiently in various environments, boasting a high ingress protection rating that allows them to function optimally in harsh conditions.

Another notable aspect of these devices is their eco-friendly design, as they utilize materials and technologies aimed at reducing their overall environmental impact. With a focus on compliance with international standards, both the AEQ2 and AEM2 are tested for safety and performance in diverse applications.

In summary, GE's AEQ2 and AEM2 are exemplary circuit breakers that combine modern technology, energy efficiency, and robust design features. Their advanced protection mechanisms, communication capabilities, and sustainable design make them suitable choices for today’s demanding electrical infrastructure. As industries continue to evolve, the need for reliable and intelligent electrical equipment like the AEQ2 and AEM2 becomes ever more crucial, reinforcing GE’s position at the forefront of electrical innovation.
