IMPORTANT! Review and always follow the “Electrical Connection/Disconnection Procedures for Dryer Testing” (click link below) and the “Manufacturer’s Recommended Minimum Lockout/Tagout Energy Control Procedures” see main menu in this Manual.

The AC Drive Box

The AC Drive Box must be grounded.

IMPORTANT! Locate and read your literature provided by the Vendor/Manufacturer of the AC Drive. An AC Drive must be grounded and can be extremely dangerous if all safety precautions are not observed.

It is very important with an AC Drive to WAIT for capacitors to discharge stored electrical energy BEFORE any service is begun on the Drive. If a capacitor explodes, there will be a shotgun-like blast. The danger of a capacitor explosion is similar to that of an arc flash. WAIT at least fifteen (15) minutes for the energy to dissipate from the capacitors. VERIFY THAT NO VOLTAGE IS PRESENT before proceeding. Failure to observe this instruction will result in death or serious injury.

A solid copper ground wire is shipped coiled from the bottom of the Control Panel Box. A copper Equipment Ground Rod 5/8'' dia. x 10' [3 048] is shipped loose.

Weatherproof all outdoor outlets and fittings that are exposed to wind, rain and snow. Avoid using electrical equipment outdoors in wet conditions. Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) wherever water and electricity may come into contact with each other. When a GFCI senses current leakage in an electrical circuit, it assumes a ground fault has occurred and interrupts the power, helping to prevent serious injury from electrical shock.
