Power supply
The power supply must conform to the specification on the
chiller nameplate. The supply voltage must be within the range
specified in the electrical data table.
For connections refer to the wiring diagram.
Electrical connections (30GY/GV 044-059)
Carry out the electrical connections between the control boxes
in accordance with the diagram below and with the wiring
diagram supplied with the unit; ensure that the cables are
routed through the conduits.
All cables are labeled A B C D and E F (option 70).

Start-up
Preliminary checks
Never be tempted to start the chiller without reading fully, and
understanding, the operating instructions and without having
carried out the following pre-start checks :
• Confirm that all crankcase heaters are working by feeling
all compressor crankcases. Every compressor has a 200 W
cartridge heater (see the wiring diagram). The heater
remains energised even when the chiller is shut down to
stop the lubricating oil from absorbing refrigerant.
• Check the operation of all accessories - chilled water
circulating pumps, air handlers and other equipment
connected to the evaporator. Follow the individual
manufacturer's instructions for this equipment.
• It is recommended to connect the auxiliary contact of the
water pump contactor to ensure maximum unit safety (see
wiring diagram delivered with the unit).
• Fill the chilled water circuit with clean water, and an
inhibitor formulated specifically for this purpose, or fill it
with another non-corrosive fluid to be chilled.
• Purge air at all high points in the system. If water
temperatures below 5°C are likely, add the appropriate
volume of ethylene glycol to prevent freezing.
• Confirm that the suction and discharge line stop valves are
fully opened.
• Open the refrigerant line valves. Check again that the
water circuit valves are open.
• Check that oil is visible in each compressor sight glass to
between 1/8 and 3/8 of the total glass depth (check for all
compressors).
• Confirm that there are no refrigerant leaks.
• Confirm that all crankcase heaters are firmly in place, and
check the secure positioning of all control sensors.
• Confirm that discharge muffler securing bands and
discharge line connections are tight.
• Check that all electrical connections are secure.
• Turn the fan shafts by hand to ensure that they rotate
freely. Check the stability of the fan wheels on the shafts.
Check the tightness of the fan shaft bearing mounts. All
fan bearings are lubricated with lithium grease for a rated
minimum life of 40,000 hours.
• Check the alignment of the motor and fan pulleys.
• Belt tension: too little will allow the belts to slip on the
pulley, too much will put the bearing under stress.
• At the start-up observe the fan and verify that its rotation
is correct, as indicated by the arrow on the scroll. To
reverse the rotation, interchange any two of the three
phases in the junction box of the motor.
WARNING: Operation of the chiller with an improper supply
voltage or with excessive phase imbalance constitutes abuse
which will invalidate the Carrier warranty. If the phase
imbalance exceeds 2% for voltage, or 1% for current, contact
your local electricity supply company at once and ensure that
the chiller is not switched on until corrective measures have
been taken.
Voltage phase imbalance (%) :
= 100 x max.deviation from average voltage deviation

Electrical checks
WARNING: Never switch off the power supply to the crankcase
heaters unless the chiller is out of service for a seasonal
shutdown or lengthy repair. The heaters must be re-energised
for at least 24 hours before the chiller is restarted.
a. Switch the unit off.
b. Open the control circuit disconnect switch.
c. Check the transformer connections.
d. Ensure that the control circuit corresponds to the wiring
diagram for the unit.
e. Check that all electrical connections are secure at the
terminals, contactors, bus bars and compressor terminal
blocks.
