Introduction
(1) For single phase 120/240 -
Utilizing 240V (L-L)
Single phase 120/240 is a common source for AC
power to household clothes driers. It may also be
called Split Phase 240. This configuration consists of
2 voltage legs that are 180 degrees apart. The volt-
age between the two legs (called phase to phase or
line to line) is 240V and the phase to neutral voltage
is 120V. Some list the phase to phase voltage first so
it may also be called 240/120 single phase.
(2) For 3 Phase WYE Configurations:
Utilizing any of L-L
In the USA the most common configuration is
208Y/120. This indicates that line to line (L-L)
voltage is 208Vac in a WYE configuration and the line
to neutral (L-N) voltage is 120Vac. It is also some-
times designated 120/208Vac, 120/208WYE, 208/120
WYE, 4 wire WYE or 120/208Y.

Cable Connection
and Wiring
Use following wire and torque force when connecting to the input terminal
block, using conductor type other than RHH, RHW and RHW-2 with outer
covering.
1. If the cable comes in from the back, just put the cover back on
and screw it closed.
2. If the cable comes in from the bottom, cut the plate off the cover
as shown to the left before you replace the cover.
Caution: To reduce the risk of the re, connect only to a circuit provided with 100 amperes maximum
branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, C22.2.
NOTE: If necessary, apply proper cable ties
or clamps to secure the cables and to relieve
cable strain added on the terminals.
If the cable comes from the back
If the cable comes from the bottom
R-install the cabinet cover
The cable will enter straight into the cable terminal cabinet. Secure
the 3 wires to the corresponding terminals as shown on the left.
NOTE: The cable hole needs to be sealed properly to keep the
terminal cabinet watertight.
