!Warning
All wiring must conform to local, state and national codes.
VOLTAGE
The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10% of the rated voltage on the ice machine model/serial number plate at
GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER CIRCUIT (GFIC)
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter protection is a system that shuts down the electric circuit (opens it) when it senses an unexpected loss of power, presumably to ground. Manitowoc Ice, Inc. does not recommend the use of a GFCI/GFI circuit protection with our equipment. If code requires the use of a GFCI/GFI then you must follow the local code. The circuit must be dedicated (accept QuietQubes), sized properly and there must be a panel GFCI/GFI breaker. We do not recommend GFCI/ GFI outlets as they are known for more intermittent nuisance trips than panel breakers.
FUSE/CIRCUIT BREAKER
A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for each ice machine. Circuit breakers must be H.A.C.R. rated (does not apply in Canada).
QF400 115/60/1 ice machines are factory
QF400 230/50/1 ice machines are factory
QF2300 with Remote Condensing Unit the ice machine head section and remote condensing unit are wired independent of each other. A separate dedicated fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for each section. Circuit breakers must be H.A.C.R. rated (does not apply in Canada).
!Warning
The ice machine must be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
TOTAL CIRCUIT AMPACITY
QF400 Only
The total circuit ampacity is used to help select the wire size of the electrical supply.
The wire size (or gauge) is also dependent upon location, materials used, length of run, etc., so it must be determined by a qualified electrician.
MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPACITY
QC700/QF800/QF2300 Only
The minimum circuit ampacity is used to help select the wire size of the electrical supply. (Minimum circuit ampacity is not the ice machine’s running amp load.) The wire size (or gauge) is also dependent upon location, materials used, length of run, etc., so it must be determined by a qualified electrician.
