Voltage to compressor terminals during operation must be within voltage range indicated on unit nameplate (also see Table 4). Voltages between phases must be balanced within 2% and the current within 10%. Use the formula shown in Table 4, Note 2, to determine the percent voltage imbalance. Operation on improper line voltage or excessive phase im- balance constitutes abuse and may cause damage to elec- trical components. Such operation would invalidate any ap- plicable Carrier warranty.

START-UP Preliminary Checks 1. Check that all internal wiring connections are tight and that all barriers, covers, and panels are in place. 2. Field electrical power source must agree with unit name- plate rating. 3. Ensure all service valves are open. Ensure all compressor service valves are backseated. 4. Verify that compressor holddown bolts have been loos- ened and that flat/snubber washers can be rotated by fin- ger pressure (snug, but not tight). 5. Verify compressor crankcase heater is secu
