Hi folks,
Just a bit of windup here. We have a boiler package unit that requires a 115/120VAC power source. In some of our packages we have an option for a 230VAC boiler pump. To accomplish this, we currently supply the boiler with two different power sources. This bugs me for various reasons.
My solution is to provide the single power source of 230VAC 1ph to the boiler, then split off the 115/120 from that connection.
Pictorial:
Fuses protect the various components after the voltage split.
This single source splitter would be inside its own enclosure inside the boiler, with the pigtails on output going where they need to.
My Question is:
Is this a doable option that keeps the wiring neater in the enclosure with the control board, electrically sound, and is it within safety concerns?
