For an unbalanced 3-phase supply voltage, use the follow-
ing formula to determine the percent of voltage imbalance:
Percent Voltage Imbalance
Example: Supply voltage is 460-3-60.
AB = 452 V
BC = 464 V
AC = 455 V
Determine maximum deviation from average voltage:
(AB) 457 – 452 = 5 V
(BC) 464 – 457 = 7 V
(AC) 457 – 455 = 2 V
Maximum deviation is 7 V.
Determine percent of voltage imbalance:
% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x
= 1.53%
This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is be-
low the maximum allowable 2%.
POWER WIRING — Properly sized fuses or HACR (Heat-
ing, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration) circuit breakers must
be installed for branch circuit protection, according to the
national and applicable local codes. See unit nameplate and
Tables 9A and 9B for maximum overcurrent protection size.
These units are provided with single point, main power
supply terminal blocks. Refer to Fig. 2-14 for conduit connec-
tion locations. Connect the power leads as indicated on the unit
wiring diagrams (found in the Troubleshooting section) and be
certain to connect the ground lead to the ground lug in the unit
high voltage electrical box. Refer to Tables 9A and 9B for unit
electrical data.
