c. 3-Phase (3ø) Wiring Connections (Hookup) For Reversing Models Only
The electrical connections on ALL 3-phase (3ø) gas model dryers are made into the rear service box
located at the upper left area of the dryer. Electrical connections for electrically heated dryers are
made in the electric oven area located at the upper rear of the dryer.
NOTE:
A CIRCUIT SERVICING EACH DRYER
MUST BE PROVIDED.
If local codes permit, power to a gas dryer can be made
by the use of a flexible U.L. listed power cord/pigtail (wire
size must conform to rating of dryer), or the dryer can be
hard wired directly to the service breaker panel. In ALL
cases, a strain relief must be installed where the wiring
enters the dryer.
The only electrical input connections to the dryer are the
3-phase (3ø) power leads (L1, L2, L3, and sometimes
neutral) and ground. Single-phase (1ø) power for the control
circuit is done internally to the dryer. No single-phase (1ø)
input connection is required on a 3-phase (3ø) dryer.
For model dryers manufactured for operation at 3-phase (3ø),
the electrical connections are made at the power distribution
block located in the service box at the rear, upper left corner of
the dryer. The ground connection is made to the copper lug
also provided in this box. To gain access to the service box
contactor, the service box cover must be removed.
