Legend and Notes for Tables 48 through 52
LEGEND:
CO --- Convenient outlet
DISC --- Disconnect
FLA --- Full load amps
IFM --- Indoor fan motor
LRA --- Locked rotor amps
MCA --- Minimum circuit amps
MOCP --- Maximum over current protection
P E --- P o w e r e x h a u s t
UNPWR CO --- Unpowered convenient outlet
NOTES:
1. Over Current Protection
In compliance with NEC requirements for multimotor and
combination load equipment (refer to NEC Articles 430 and
440), the over current protective device for the unit shall use
a fuse or a HACR breaker. Canadian units shall use a fuse or
a circuit breaker.
2. Unbalanced 3-Phase Supply Voltage
Never operate a motor where a phase imbalance in supply
voltage is greater than 2%. Use the following formula to de-
termine the p ercentage of voltage imbalance.
% Voltage Imbalance = 100 x
max voltage deviation from average voltage
average voltage
Example: Supply voltage is 230-3-60
AB = 224 v
BC = 231 v
AC = 226 v
Average Voltage =
(224 + 231 + 226)
=

= 227
Determine maximum deviation from average voltage.
(AB) 227 – 224 = 3 v
(BC) 231 – 227 = 4 v
(AC) 227 – 226 = 1 v
Maximum deviation is 4 v.
Determine p ercent of voltage imbalance.

227
= 1.76%
This amount of phase imbalance is satisfactory as it is b elow the
maximum allowable 2%.
IMPORTANT: If the supply voltage phase imbalance is more than
2%, contact your local electric utility company immediately.
