1) 3-Phase (3ø) Wiring Connection/Hookup
For gas 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
and contactor, the service box cover must be removed
5. 3-Phase (3ø) Wiring Connections/Hookup
The only electrical input connections to the dryer are the 3-phase (3ø) power leads (L1, L2, L3, and some-
times 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.
IMPORTANT: A CIRCUIT SERVING EACH DRYER MUST BE PROVIDED.
Providing local codes permit, power to a dryer can be made by the use of a flexible U.L. listed power
cord or 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 and service box area.
