Installation, Chapter 2 Watlow Power Series I 2.1
2
The following two chapters will explain how to install the Power Series
controller. Watlow power controllers are thoroughly tested before leaving the
factory, so the Power Series controller is ready to install when you receive it.
Chapters 2 and 3 describe the steps required to install the Power Series
controller. Refer to Chapter 2 for mounting information and Chapter 3 for input,
power, and load wiring of the Power Series.
Before beginning installation, read through these chapters to gain an under-
standing of the entire installation. Consider the installation carefully. Plan the
power, load, and input signal wiring before mounting the Power Series. Also
consider the cabinet space, controller dimensions, wire bending radius, and air-
flow. Use good wiring practices to minimize electrical noise problems.

WARNING:
To avoid potential electric
shock and other hazards,
all mounting and wiring
for the Power Series must
conform to the National
Electric Code (NEC) and
other locally applicable
codes.
Power Series Wire Bending Radius at Base Current and Ambient
Temperature Rating and Replacement Semiconductor Fuses
Minimum recommended wire sizes are based on the NEC 30°C ambient with not
more than three current carrying conductors in raceway or cable, while also
considering the Power Series 50°C enclosure temperature and semiconductor
fuse rating. Use copper conductors only.
The terminal lug wire range for all Power Series amperages is 350 MCM to 6
AWG. The recommended terminal torque is 180 in.-lbs. (20 Nm.). Refer to page
3.1 for torque guidelines.
NOTE: Ground must be
wired with the same size
wire as line and load
connections to a ground
of sufficient current
carrying capacity.
NOTE: Integral semicon-
ductor fuses do not
qualify as branch circuit
protection.
