Electrical Service

GENERAL

VOLTAGE

The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10% of the

rated voltage at ice machine start-up (when the electrical

load is highest).

FUSE/CIRCUIT BREAKER

A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for

each ice machine. Circuit breakers must be H.A.C.R.

rated.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERUPTER

Ground Fault Circuit Interupter (GFCI/GFI) protection is

a system that shuts down the electric circuit (opens it)

when it senses an unexpected loss of power,

presumably to ground. Manitowoc Ice, Inc. does not

recommend the use of a GFCI/GFI circuit protection with

our equipment. If code requires the use of a GFCI/GFI

then you must follow the local code. The circuit must be

dedicated, sized properly and there must be a panel

GFCI/GFI breaker. We do not recommend GFCI/GFI

outlets as they are known for more intermittent nuisance

trips than panel breakers.

MINIMUM CIRCUIT AMPACITY

The minimum circuit ampacity is used to help select the

wire size of the electrical supply. (Minimum circuit

ampacity is not the ice machine’s running amp load.)

The wire size (or gauge) is also dependent upon

location, materials used, length of run, etc., so it must be

determined by a qualified electrician.

Warning

All wiring must conform to local and national codes.

Warning

The ice machine must be grounded in accordance

with national and local electrical codes.
