Installation of Electric Heater (optional)

Warning

Electrical Shock Hazard! Disconnect all power sources before doing any work on the unit.

General:

The requirements and practices described below are based on the National Electric Code (NEC) and The Space Heating Standard of the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL). Although UL requirements are uniform throughout the country, local electrical codes may deviate from the National Electrical Code. Therefore, local inspection authorities should be consulted regarding local requirements.

Electrical Wiring Instructions:

1.Use the wiring diagram supplied with the heater as a guide in correlating field wiring with the heater internal wiring.

2.All field wiring to the heater must meet the requirements of the National Electric Code and any other applicable local or state codes.

3.Wiring to the heater must be rated for 75°C (167°F) minimum.

4.The fan is interlocked by the factory to the control circuit so the electric heater will not operate unless the fan is on.

5.If heater does not have a built-in disconnect switch or main circuit breaker, install a remote disconnect (furnished by others) in accordance with the National Electric Code, Article 424-65.

Calculation of Line Currents (amps):

Single Phase Current = wattsvolts

EXAMPLE: 5 kW, 208 volt

= 40 amps

Sizing of Supply Conductors

The required minimum size of supply conductors is marked at the field wiring terminals within the heater control box or reference the Supply Wire Size table included in this section. The wire gauges are calculated for 125% of the heater line current as required by the National Electric Code, Article 424-3(b) based on conductor insulation rated for 75°C (167°F).

Effect of Low Voltage on Wattage and British Thermal Unit (BTU)

The heating elements may be used on voltages lower than the design voltage of the heater, however, the wattage and BTU output will be reduced to the percentages listed in the table below.
