2.4 Electrical Connections
Connection by a qualified electrician is recommended.
The furnaces covered by this manual may be ordered for single phase A.C. supply, which may be
Live to Neutral non-reversible, Live to Neutral reversible or Live to Live. Some models can be
supplied for three phase use; some for use on two phases of a three phase with neutral supply (one
phase unused).
Check the furnace rating label before connection. The supply voltage should agree with the voltage
on the label, and the supply capacity should be sufficient for the amperage on the label.
The supply should be fused at the next size equal to or higher than the amperage on the label. A
table of the most common fuse ratings is also given in section 8.1 of this manual. Where a supply
cable is present there are internal supply fuses; customer fusing is preferred but not essential.
Furnace with supply cable: either wire directly to an isolator or fit with a line plug.
Furnace without supply cable: a permanent connection to a fused and isolated supply should be
made to the internal terminals after temporary removal of the furnace back panel.
Connection by line plug: the plug should be within reach of the operator, and should be quickly
removable.
Connection to isolating switch: this should operate on both conductors (single phase) or on all live
conductors (three phase), and should be within reach of the operator.
The supply MUST incorporate an earth (ground).
