Installation
Electrical Requirements
All electrical work, including wire routing
and grounding, must conform to local, state
and national electrical codes. The following
precautions must be observed:
• The ice machine must be grounded.
• A separate fuse/circuit breaker
(dedicated circuit) must be provided
for each ice machine head section, or
condensing unit.
• A qualified electrician must determine
proper wire size dependent upon
location, materials used and length of
run (minimum circuit ampacity can be
used to help select the wire size).
n
All wiring must conform to local, state and
national codes.
Voltage
The maximum allowable voltage variation
is +10%/‑5% of the rated voltage at ice
machine start‑up (when the electrical load
is highest).
n
The ice machine must be grounded
in accordance with national and local
electrical codes.
Fuse/Circuit Breaker
A separate electrical disconnect, which
disconnects all poles and has 1/8" (3 mm)
contact separation, must be provided
for fixed wiring. Circuit breakers must be
H.A.C.R. rated in USA.

Warning
Warning
Minimum Circuit Ampacity
• The minimum circuit ampacity is used to
help select the wire size of the electrical
supply. (Minimum circuit ampacity is not
the ice machine's running amp load.)
• The wire size (or gauge) also depends
on location, materials used, length of
run, etc., so it must be determined by a
qualified electrician.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
We do not recommend the use of a
GFCI/GFI circuit protection with our
equipment. If a GFCI/GFI is required by
code, use a GFCI/GFI breaker rather than an
outlet, which is more prone to intermittent
nuisance trips than panel circuit breakers.
