ground core copper wire cable of the appropriate size protected by 2 separate and 
independent correctly rated Double Pole Breakers. (208, 220, 240 V, see Figures 4 and 5). 
Wire entry into the unit must be made through the 4 holes provided in the flange on the 
backplate

. Ensure to check national and local building codes.

The Rating of the branch-circuit overcurrent protective device shall be 150% of the rating of the 
unit (see chart above) per UL 499 18.4.

The “live” wires should be connected to the slots in the terminal block marked L1 and L2. The
