*1. Please follow applicable federal, state, or local codes to prevent potential leakage/electric shock. Or install a ground fault interrupt for the prevention of leakage and
electric shock.
IMPORTANT
If a current leakage breaker is used, it should be compatible with higher harmonics as this unit is equipped with an inverter. The use of an inadequate breaker
can cause the incorrect operation of inverter.
*2. Use copper supply wires. Use the electric wires over the rating voltage 300 V.
*3. Although the conduit size is larger than the size specified for the wire thickness according to UL standards, use a conduit size of 1 inch.
Total operating current of the indoor unit
F0 = 15 A or less *

F0 = 20 A or less *

Apply to IEC61000-3-3 about max. permissive system impedance.
*1 The Ground-fault interrupter should support inverter circuit.
The Ground-fault interrupter should combine using of local switch or wiring breaker.
*2 Please take the larger of F1 or F2 as the value for F0.
F1 = Total operating maximum current of the indoor units × 1.2
F2 = {V1 × (Quantity of Type1)/C} + {V1 × (Quantity of Type2)/C} + {V1 × (Quantity of Type3)/C} + {V1 × (Quantity of Type4)/C} + ... + {V1 × (Quantity of Type14)/C}
