Direct
Electrical
Connection
to the
Circuit
Breaker,
Fuse Box
or Junction
Box
If the appliance is connected directly to the circuit
breaker, fuse box or junction box, use flexible, armored
or nonmetallic sheathed copper cable (with grounding
wire). Supply a U.L. listed strain-relief at each end of
the cable. At the appliance end, the cable goes through
the Direct Connection Hole (see Figure 5) on the Cord
Mounting
Plate. Wire sizes (copper wire only) and
connections must conform to the rating of the appliance.
A 50A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended
(minimum 40A).
Where local codes permit
connecting
the appliance-
grounding
conductor
to the neutral
(white)
wire
(see Figure 5):
1. Be sure that no power is supplied on the cable from
residence.
2. Remove the grounding strap from the terminal block
and from the appliance frame.
3. In the circuit breaker, fuse box or junction box:
a) Connect the green (or bare copper) wire, the white
appliance cable wire, and the neutral (white) wire
together.
b) Connect the 2 black wires together.
c) Connect the 2 red wires together.
