2.7.3 IRI Gas Train Kit

The IRI gas train is an optional gas train

configuration which is required in some areas for

code compliance or for insurance purposes.

The IRI gas train is factory pre-piped and wired.

See Appendix F, Drawing AP-A-803 for details.

2.8 AC ELECTRICAL POWER WIRING

The AERCO Benchmark 3.0 Electrical Power

Wiring Guide, GF-3060, must be consulted prior

to connecting any AC power wiring to the unit.

External AC power connections are made to the

unit inside the Power Box on the front panel of

the unit. Remove the front door of the unit to

access the Power Box mounted directly above

the Control Box. Loosen the four Power Box

cover screws and remove cover to access the

AC terminal connections inside the Power Box

(Figure 2-8).

All electrical conduit and hardware must

be installed so that it does not interfere

with the removal of any unit covers, inhibit

service/maintenance, or prevent access

between the unit and walls or another

unit.

2.8.1 Electrical Power Requirements

The AERCO Benchmark 3.0 Dual-Fuel Boiler is

available in two different AC power configura-

tions:

208 VAC/3-Phase/60 @20 amps

460 VAC/3-Phase/60 Hz @ 15 amps

Each of the power configurations utilize a Power

Box with a terminal block that matches the

configuration ordered. The two different terminal

block configurations are shown in Figure 2-9. A

wiring diagram showing the required AC power

connections is provided on the front cover of the

Power Box.
Each Benchmark 3.0 Dual-Fuel Boiler must be

connected to a dedicated electrical circuit. NO

OTHER DEVICES SHOULD BE ON THE SAME

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT AS THE BENCHMARK

UNIT.
A double-pole switch must be installed on the

electrical supply line in an easily accessible

location to quickly and safely disconnect

electrical service. DO NOT attach the switch to

sheet metal enclosures of the unit.
After placing the boiler in service, the ignition

safety shutoff device must be tested. If an

external electrical power source is used, the

installed boiler must be electrically bonded to

ground in accordance with the requirements of

the authority having jurisdiction. In the absence

of such requirements, the installation shall

conform to National Electrical Code (NEC),

ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or the Canadian Electrical

Code (CEC) Part I, CSA C22.1 Electrical Code.
