The Turbo Air® 3000 Centrifugal Compressor Compressor Handbook

The Turbo Air 3000 Centrifugal Compressor Operator’s Manual
Electrical Conduit
The typical Turbo Air 3000 Compressor installation will require that medium voltage, and possibly high
voltage, electrical power is delivered to complete the compressor installation. The standard packagemounted
components requiring electrical power are the main drive motor, the oil pump motor and the
Vantage Control Panel. Other optional equipment, such as the oil heater, will also require electrical
power. The National Electrical Code in the United States, as well as most other national codes, require
that the electrical wiring for this type industrial service must be encased in rigid conduit.
The user/installer is responsible for providing and designing the installation of all external electrical
conduit runs. To ensure successful electrical conduit installation always:
· Use clean, non-corrosive conduit and fittings with no burrs or sharp edges.
· Keep the conduit runs as short and direct as possible.
· Support the conduit properly so as to not impart any unnecessary loads on the components to
which it is being connected.
· Provide drop legs at low points with drains to remove any collected condensate.

WARNING:
Remember that it is the owner’s and installer’s responsibility to apply correct wiring
practices. Failure to follow local electrical codes and good industrial practices could cause
property damage and/or personal injury or death.
