Fig. 29 -- Mounting Position for Field Disconnects
(up to 100A)
Field power wires are connected to the unit at line--side
pressure lugs at the main terminal block (TB1) or at
factory--installed option non--fused disconnect switch.
Max wire size is #2 AWG (copper only). (See Fig. 31.)
NOTE: TEST LEADS -- Unit may be equipped with
short leads (pigtails) on the field line connection points off
the optional disconnect switch. These leads are for factory
run--test purposes only; remove and discard before
connecting field power wires to unit connection points.
Make field power connections directly to line connection
pressure lugs only.
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in
intermittent operation or performance satisfaction.
Do not connect aluminum wire between disconnect
switch and unit. Use only copper wire.
(See Fig. 30.)

All Units —
All field wiring must comply with NEC and all local
requirements. Size wire based on MCA (Minimum Circuit
Amps) on the unit informative plate. See Fig. 31 and the
unit label diagram for power wiring connections to the
unit power terminal blocks and equipment ground.
Maximum wire size is 2/0 AWG per pole.
Provide a ground--fault and short--circuit over--current
protection device (fuse or breaker) per NEC Article 440
(or local codes). Refer to unit informative data plate for
MOCP (Maximum Over--current Protection) device size.
Voltage to compressor terminals during operation must be
within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate. See
Table 10. On 3--phase units, voltages between phases must
be balanced within 2% and the current within 10%. Use
the formula shown in the legend for Table 10 (see Note 2
on page 45) to determine the percent of voltage
imbalance.
All units except 208/230-v units are factory wired for the
voltage shown on the nameplate. If the 208/230-v unit is
to be connected to a 208-v power supply, the control
transformer must be rewired by moving the black wire
with the

-in. female spade connector from the 230--v
connection and moving it to the 200-v
1

4
-in. male
terminal on the primary side of the transformer. Refer to
unit label diagram for additional information.
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in equipment
damage.
Operation on improper line voltage or excessive phase
imbalance constitutes abuse and may cause damage to
electrical components. Such operation would invalidate
any applicable Carrier warranty.
CAUTION
!
NOTE: Check all factory and field electrical connections
for tightness.
Units Without Factory--Installed Disconnect —
When installing units, provide a disconnect switch of
adequate size per NEC (National Electrical Code).
Disconnect sizing data is provided on the unit informative
plate. Locate on unit cabinet or within sight of the unit per
national or local codes. Do not cover unit informative
plate if mounting the disconnect on the unit cabinet.
Units with Factory--Installed Disconnect —
The factory--installed option disconnect switch is located in a
weatherproof enclosure located under the main control box.
The manual switch handle is accessible through an opening
in the access panel. Discard the factory test leads (see Fig.
31). The factory disconnect is an 80A disconnect.
