unconditioned spaces

All ductwork passing through unconditioned space must be

properly insulated to prevent condensation and minimize

duct losses. Use insulation with an outer vapor barrier.

Refer to local codes for insulation material requirements.

acoustical Ductwork

Certain installations may require acoustical lining inside

the supply ductwork. Acoustical insulation must be in

accordance with the current revision of the Sheet Metal

and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association

(SMACNA) application standard for duct liners. Duct lining

must be U.L. classified batts or blankets with a fire hazard

classification of FHC-25/50 or less.

Fiber ductwork may be used in place of internal duct liners

if the fiber ductwork is in accordance with the current

revision of the SMACNA construction standard on fibrous

glass ducts.

Fibrous ductwork and internal acoustical lining must be

NFPA Class 1 air ducts when tested per U.L. Standard

181 for Class 1 ducts.

Downflow to Horizontal conversion

The unit is shipped ready for downflow duct connections. If

horizontal ducts are required, the unit must be converted

according to the directions in the conversion kit for both

the supply and return ducts.

ElEctrIcal WIrInG

WarnInG:

to avoid the risk of electrical shock, personal
injury, or death, disconnect all electrical power
to the unit before performing any maintenance
or service. the unit may have more than one
electrical power supply.

• Electrical connections must be in compliance with

all applicable local codes and ordinances, and with

the current revision of the National Electric Code

(ANSI/NFPA 70).

• For Canadian installations the electrical connections

and grounding shall comply with the current Canadian

Electrical Code (CSA C22.1 and/or local codes).

Pre-Electrical checklist

√ Verify that the voltage, frequency, and phase of the

supply source match the specifications on the unit

rating plate.

√ Verify that the service provided by the utility is sufficient

to handle the additional load imposed by this equipment.

See Tables 2a-2b (page 19), Table 3 (page 20) or the

unit wiring label for proper high and low voltage wiring.

√ Verify factory wiring is in accordance with the unit wiring

diagram. Inspect for loose connections.

√ For 3 phase units always check the phase balance.

Line Voltage

It is recommended that the line voltage to the unit be

supplied from a dedicated branch circuit containing the

correct fuse or circuit breaker for the unit.
IMPortant notE: an electrical disconnect must

be installed readily accessible from and located

within sight of the unit. (see unit data label for proper

incoming field wiring). any other wiring methods must

be acceptable to authority having jurisdiction.
The power supply for the unit must be in accordance with

the unit wiring diagram, and the unit rating plate. Connect

the line-voltage leads to the corresponding terminals on

the terminal block inside the Element access compartment.

Refer to physical data drawings for compartment location.

Use only copper wire for the line voltage power supply

to this unit. Use proper code agency listed conduit and

connector for connecting the supply wires.

All P6SP model units are shipped factory ready for Single

Circuit Electrical Supply connections. See Table 2 or unit

rating label for proper high voltage wiring requirements.

For Dual Electrical Supply connections see unit rating

plate or heater kit installation instructions for proper high

voltage wiring requirements. Use NORDYNE 3-Pole Dual

Circuit Adaptor (P/N-917468 ) for converting to dual supply

connections.

cautIon:

label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation. Verify
proper operation after servicing.

Units are shipped from the factory wired for 230 or 460 volt

operation. On 208-230V units being placed into 208 volt

operation, remove the lead from the transformer terminal

marked 240V and connect it to the terminal marked 208V.

Overcurrent protection must be provided at the branch

circuit distribution panel and sized as shown on the unit

rating label and according to the National Electric Code

and applicable local codes.

notE: See the unit rating plate

for maximum circuit ampacity and maximum overcurrent

protection limits.
notE: 1-3/8” conduit openings are supplied for high

voltage field wiring entrance. If smaller openings are

required use suitable (field supplied) reducers to meet

specific conduit size requirements.

Unbalanced 3-Phase Supply Voltage

Voltage unbalance occurs when the voltages of all phases

of a 3-phase power supply are no longer equal. This

unbalance reduces motor efficiency and performance.

Some underlying causes of voltage unbalance may include:

Lack of symmetry in transmission lines, large single-phase

loads, and unbalanced or overloaded transformers. A

motor should never be operated when a phase imbalance

in supply is greater than 2%.

Perform the following steps

to determine the percentage of voltage imbalance:
