Electrical Service
GENERAL
!Warning
All wiring must conform to local, state and national codes.
VOLTAGE
The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10% of the rated voltage at ice machine
!Warning
The ice machine must be grounded in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
All electrical work, including wire routing and grounding, must conform to local, state and national electrical codes. The following precautions must be observed:
•The ice machine must be grounded.
•A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for each ice machine.
•A qualified electrician must determine proper wire size dependent upon location, materials used and length of run (minimum circuit ampacity can be used to help select the wire size).
•The maximum allowable voltage variation is
•Check all green ground screws in the control box and verify they are tight before starting the ice machine.
Important
Observe correct polarity of incoming line voltage.
Incorrect polarity can lead to erratic ice machine operation and a safety issue. This is especially critical on 230 volt / 50 cycle ice machines.
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).
MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPACITY
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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Refer to Ice Machine Model/Serial Plate for voltage/ amperage specifications.
