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 Boiler is available
in two different AC power configurations:
• 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 Boiler must be connected
to a dedicated electrical circuit. NO OTHER
DEVICES SHOULD BE ON THE SAME
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT AS THE BENCHMARK
BOILER. A means for disconnecting AC power
from the unit (such as a service switch) must be
installed near the unit for normal operation and
maintenance. All electrical connections should
be made in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and/or with any applicable local
codes.
For electrical power wiring diagrams, see the
AERCO Benchmark 3.0 Electrical Power Wiring
Guide, (GF-3060).
