4.4 Selecting and Preparing
the Electrical Wiring
4.4.1 Safety device requirements
1. Select
the
wire
diameters
individually for each unit based on Table 4.13 and
Table 4.14, where the rated current in Table 4.13
refers to MCA in Table 4.14. If the MCA exceeds 63A,
the wire diameters should be selected according to
the national wiring regulation.
2. The maximum allowable voltage range variation
between phases is 2%.
3. Select circuit breakers that have a contact separation
in all poles not less than 3 mm providing full
disconnection, where MFA is used to select the
current circuit breakers and residual current operation

Phase and frequency of power supply system: 3N-50Hz, Voltage: 380-415V
Abbreviations:
MCA: Minimum Circuit Amps; TOCA: Total Over-current Amps; MFA: Maximum Fuse Amps; MSC: Maximum Starting
Current (A); RLA: Rated Load Amps; FLA: Fan Load Amps.
Units are suitable for use in electrical systems where voltage supplied to unit terminals is not below or above listed range
limits. The maximum allowable voltage variation between phases is 2%.
Select wire size based on the value of MCA.
TOCA indicates the total overcurrent amps value of each OC set.
MFA is used to select overcurrent circuit breakers and residual-current circuit breakers.
MSC indicates the maximum current on compressor start-up in amps.
RLA is based on the following conditions: indoor temperature 27°C DB, 19°C WB; outdoor temperature 35°C DB.
