Power Supply — Electrical characteristics of available
power supply must agree with unit nameplate rating. Supply
voltage must be within limits shown in Table 3.
IMPORTANT: Operating unit on improper supply
voltage, or with excessive phase imbalance, constitutes
abuse and may affect Carrier warranty. See Unbal
anced 3-Phase Supply Voltage, page 6.
Power Wiring — All power wiring must comply with
applicable local and national codes. Install field-supplied
branch circuit fused disconnect(s) per NEC (National Electri
cal Code) of a type that can be locked OFF or OPEN.
Disconnect(s) must be within sight from and readily acces
sible from unit in compliance with NEC Article 440-14.
GENERAL WIRING NOTES
1. A crankcase heater is wired in the control circuit so it is
always operable as long as power supply disconnect is
on, even if any safety device is open or unit stop-start
switch is off. It is protected by a 5-amp circuit breaker in
control power.
2.
The power circuit field supply disconnect should never be
open except when unit is being serviced or is to be down for a
prolonged period When operation is resumed crankcase
heater should be energtedfor 24 hours before start-up. If unit
is to be shut down for a prolonged period it is recommended
that the suction arid discharge valves be closed to prevent an
excessive accumulation of refrigerant in the compressor oil
3. Power entry is at one end only.

FLA
— Full Load Amps
ICF
— Maximum Instantaneous Current Flow during starting (the
point in the starting sequence where the sum of the LRAfor
the starting compressor, plus the total RLA for all running
compressors, plus the total FLA for all running fan motors
is maximum).
LRA
— Locked Rotor Amps
MCA
— Minimum Circuit Amps (complies with National Electrical
Code [NEC], Section 430-24)
MOCP
— Maximum Overcurrent Protection
RLA
— Rated Load Amps
* Units are suitable for use on electrical systems where voltage
supplied to unit terminals is not below or above listed minimum and
maximum limits
t All fans are protected by a single circuit breaker.
