Raypak RHP160, RHP115 II. Electrical Connections, Typical System Electrical Power Requirements

•Each side of the unit must be located at least 1 ft from walls, pipes, or other obstructions for unrestricted air intake and service access.

WARNING

Do not install the unit within 3 ft of fossil fuel burning heaters. Air intake along the sides of this heat pump could disturb the combustion process of the unit, and could cause damage or personal injury.

•Mount the unit on a level, sturdy base, preferably a concrete slab or blocks. The size of the base should be not less than 3 ft by 3 ft.

•Completely isolate the base from the building foundation or wall to prevent sound or vibration transmission into the building. For this purpose, 4 black rubber sound isolation pads are included with the unit. These pads must be installed under the corners of the unit to reduce vibration and sound transmission to the base.

•If the unit is installed in an area known for water accumulation during periods of heavy rainfall, its supporting base must be high enough to keep it completely free of standing water at all times.

II.Electrical Connections

The table below lists the typical electrical power requirements for your heat pump.

Table 1: Typical System Electrical Power Requirements

Model	VIN - Phase - Hz		Min. circuit Ampacity (A)	Max. breaker size (A)
RHP 100	208/230 - 1 - 60		31.4	50
	208/230 - 3	- 60	20.5	30
RHP 115	208/230 - 1	- 60	40.4	60
	208/230 - 3	- 60	27.5	40
RHP 160	208/230 - 1	- 60	46.2	60

Refer to the unit rating plate below the control panel for precise power requirement for each unit, and for ampacity and over-current protection requirements. All wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70, latest edition, and all applicable state and local codes.

NOTE: Refer to the National Electrical Code, Article 680, for general requirements for swimming pools and equipment, and to Article 440 for special considerations necessary for circuits supplying hermetic refrigeration motor/compressors.

The power supply connections to the unit are located behind the control panel. Remove the control panel to expose the electrical controls. Line voltage connections are made at the line voltage terminals of the compressor contactor. Refer to the Heat Pump Schematic (page 11) and the Control Panel Assembly Replacement Parts List (page 12).

Conduit entrance to the unit is through a hole below the control panel.

NOTE: Make certain all electrical connections to unit terminals are secure.
