STEP 4 -- ELECTRICAL -- Circuit Sizing and Wire Routing
In the U.S.A., wiring must conform with current local codes
and the current National Electric Code (NEC). In Canada,
wiring must conform with current local codes and the current
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
Refer to the furnace or air handler installation instructions
for additional wiring application diagrams and refer to unit
nameplate for minimum circuit ampacity and maximum
overcurrent protection size.
24VAC TRANSFORMER
Use the transformer provided with the furnace or air
handler for low‐voltage control power (24VAC - 40 VA
minimum)
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard. Can cause injury
or death. Unit must be properly grounded
in accordance with national and local
codes.
Line voltage is present at all components
when unit is not in operation on units with
single‐pole contactors. Disconnect all
remote electric power supplies before
opening access panel. Unit may have
multiple power supplies.
IMPORTANT !
If unit is equipped with a crankcase heater, it should
be energized 24 hours before unit start-up to prevent
