SECTION 2 – INSTALLATION 2-1. Specifications NOTE For any single or three phase voltage from 208 V to 575 V, the Amperes Input at Rated Load Output is the same for 50 Hertz or 60 Hertz input power. For example, the amperes input for 230 V, 50 Hz, single-phase input power is 33 amperes.
2-2. Duty Cycle and Overheating Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min- utes that unit can cut at rated load without overheating. If unit overheats, thermostat(s) opens, output stops, and cooling fan runs. Wait fifteen minutes for unit to cool. Reduce amperage or duty cycle before cutting.
