Starting Equipment

The 19XL requires a motor starter to operate the centrifugal hermetic compressor motor, the

oil pump, and various auxiliary equipment. The starter serves as the main field wiring interface

for the contractor.

Three types of starters are available from Carrier Corporation: solid-state, wye-delta, and

across-the-line starters. See Carrier Specification Z-375 for specific starter requirements. All

starters must meet these specifications in order to properly start and satisfy mechanical safety

requirements. Starters may be supplied as separate, free-standing units, or may be mounted

directly on the chiller (unit mounted) for low-voltage units only.

Inside the starter are 3 separate circuit breakers. Circuit breaker CB1 is the compressor

motor circuit breaker. The disconnect switch on the starter front cover is connected to this

breaker. Circuit breaker CB1 supplies power to the compressor motor.

The main circuit breaker (CB1) on the front of the starter disconnects the main
motor current only. Power is still energized for the other circuits. Two more cir-
cuit breakers inside the starter must be turned off to disconnect power to the oil
pump, PIC controls, and oil heater.
