The isolation system shall be designed to resist loads produced by external forces, such as earthquakes, and conform to the current IBC seismic requirements. Design VFD frequency is less than line frequency. Use caution during startup to ensure the VFD will not operate at the line frequency or ensure that the air delivery system can handle being over-pressurized.

Indoor Units with an External Motor Junction Box The fan section shall have motor leads extended to a factory installed NEMA external junction box to facilitate field supplied starter or VFD wiring and to maintain air leakage integrity of the casing. For units with a full-load amp rating less than or equal to 110 amps, the enclosure shall be a NEMA 1 enclosure. For units with a full-load amp rating greater than 110 amps, the enclosure shall be a NEMA 4 enclosure. Refer to the Product Data section for fans with an external motor junction box.

Overload box Overload panel is a factory mounted NEMA type 1 enclosure for indoor units, and NEMA type 4 enclosure for outdoor units. The panel will take one field VFD power input and distribute to 2, 4 or 6 fans. These fans will be protected by manual motor protectors, one per fan. Auxiliary contacts are wired in series to terminal blocks for generic trip signaling. Panel is rated for WYE power systems up to 600V.
