System Voltage - That nominal voltage value assigned to a circuit or system for the purpose of designating its voltage class.
Nameplate Voltage - That voltage assigned to a piece of equipment for the purpose of designating its voltage class and for the purpose of defining the minimum and maximum voltage at which the equipment will operate.
Utilization Voltage - The voltage of the line terminals of the equipment at which the equipment must give fully satisfac- tory performance. Once it is established that supply voltage will be maintained within the utilization range under all sys- tem conditions, check and calculate if an unbalanced condi- tion exists between phases. Calculate percent voltage un- balance as follows:
Three Phase Models Only
|
| 2) MAXIMUM VOLTAGE DEVIATIONS | ||
3) PERCENT VOLTAGE | = 100 X |
| FROM AVERAGE VOLTAGE |
|
UNBALANCE |
|
| 1) AVERAGE VOLTAGE | |
|
|
|
HOW TO USE THE FORMULA:
EXAMPLE: With voltage of 220, 216, and 213
1)Average Voltage = 220+216+213=649 / 3 = 216
2)Maximum Voltage Deviations from Average Voltage = 220 - 216 = 4
3) Percent Voltage Unbalance = 100 x | 4 | = | 400 | = 1.8% | |
216 | 216 | ||||

Percent voltage unbalance MUST NOT exceed 2%.
FIELD DUCT CONNECTIONS
Verify that all duct connections are tight and that there is no air bypass between supply and return.
FILTER SECTION CHECK
Remove filter section access panels and check that filters are properly installed. Note airflow arrows on filter frames.
BELT DRIVE
BEARING CHECK
Prior to energizing any fans, check and make sure that all setscrews are tight so that bearings are properly secured to shafts.
For heat pump units, the airflow must be adjusted so that the air temperature rise falls within the ranges given stated on Data Plate (see Appendix A - Blower Performance).
NOTE: Section on high static tables may require a field motor change.
TENSION AND ALIGNMENT ADJUSTMENT
Correct belt tension is very important to the life of your belt. Too loose a belt will shorten its life; too tight, premature mo- tor and bearing failure will occur. Check you belt drive for adequate

EVAPORATOR FAN ROTATION CHECK (THREE PHASE MODELS ONLY)
Check that fan rotates clockwise when viewed from the drive side of unit and in accordance with rotation arrow shown on blower housing. If it does not, reverse the two incoming power cables at Single Point Power Block. In this case, repeat bear- ing check.
Do not attempt to change load side wiring. Internal wiring assures all motors and compressors will rotate in correct di- rection once evaporator fan motor rotation check has been made.
ELECTRICAL INPUT CHECK
Make preliminary check of evaporator fan ampere draw and verify that motor nameplate amps are not exceeded. A final check of amp draw should be made upon completion of air balancing of the duct system (see Appendix C).
