6.6.6 Optional

Variable Frequency

Drive and Controls

When an optional variable frequency drive is ordered, the motor will operate on vary-

ing speeds as determined by the electrical frequency. The drive requires remote field

installation. The minimum ambient temperature for installing a VFD is 18°F (-8°C).

Maximum distance of the VFD from the unit is 50 ft (15M). Follow the manufacturer's

instructions included with the package and the system wiring diagram. (

NOTE: If spe-

cific wiring for desired VFD operation was not requested on the order, the VFD wiring

on the system wiring diagram is for two speed.)
Depending on which control (Option VFC) was selected, the variable frequency drive

is controlled by a wall-mounted two or three speed control, by duct or building static

pressure, or by a space CO2 monitor. See control information in Paragraph 8.2.
Generally, high speed is used for cooling and low speed for heating. Minimum high

speed is 60 Hertz. Maximum speed for low speed heating is the frequency that will

provide the maximum temperature rise of the heater. Maximum allowable temperature

rise for a MAPS

®

gas heat section is 100°F.

Follow the variable frequency controller manufacturer’s instructions to program the

variable frequency drive settings.

The formula for motor speed is N = 120 x f/p where N is speed; f is frequency;

and p is number of poles (3600 RPM motor has 2 poles; an 1800 RPM motor

has 4 poles).

Example: 1800 RPM motor on 60Hz; N = 120 x 60/4 = 1800

1800 is synchronous speed; assume 2% slip. Motor will run

between 1750 and 1790 RPM at full load depending on design.

Run the same motor at 45Hz (120 x 45/4 = 1350). 1350 RPM

less 2% slip equals about 1300 RPM.

6.6.4 Blower Bearings

The blower on systems with less than a 10 HP motor are permanently lubricated car-

tridge ball bearings and do not require greasing. The bearings on systems with a 10HP

motor are pillow block ball bearings and are equipped with a grease fitting. Refer to

Form O-MAPS

Cabinet ABC or O-MAPS

®

Cabinet D for maintenance instructions.

All electrical wiring and connections, including electrical grounding MUST be made

in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (latest edition). In

addition, the installer should be aware of any local ordinances or electric company

requirements that might apply.

7.1 General

Check the rating plate for the supply voltage and current requirements. Run a separate

line voltage supply directly from the main electrical panel, making connection at the

disconnect switch.

6.6.5 Blower Rotation

- Cabinets A, B, C

Each blower housing is marked for proper rotation. Check blower rotation with the

arrow on the housing. If actual rotation is not correct, interchange the two wires on

the 3-phase supply connections at the terminal block. Do not change load side wiring.

7.2.1 Disconnect

Switch

The system may be factory equipped with a built-in non-fusible, lockable disconnect

switch. The built-in disconnect switch (Option BA6) requires copper wiring with ampac-

ity based on 75°C maximum temperature rating at the line side terminals.
If the system does not have a built-in disconnect switch, a field-provided or optional

shipped-separate, wall-mounted disconnect switch is required. It is recommended

that there is at least four feet (1.2M) of service room between the switch and system

access panels. All external wiring must be within approved conduit and have a mini-

mum temperature rise rating of 60°C. Run conduit so that it does not interfere with the

system access panels. See

FIGURE 3A or 3B on pages 7-8, for location of supply

wiring entrance. When providing or replacing fuses in a fusible disconnect, use dual

element time delay fuses and size according to the rating plate.

WARNING

To prevent injury or death due to electrocution or contact with

moving parts, lock disconnect switch open.
