Can someone decipher this Label

[Dennis Alwon]

This is from a mini-split. It is from another forum and we had many answers... Help please

Where is the concern. Seems pretty straightforward other than the MCA seems high compared to rated currents

The listed breaker size is lower than the MCA.

Isn’t Intertek the offbeat listing agency that certifies mostly questionably product from China?

For one there is max fuse and max breaker which are very different. Why? The entire label is bizarre to me.

@augie47 I said the same thing at first...

A lot of mini splits are ETL certified. That label looks like it's Canadian and US acceptable

I’ll have to look up the exact section in article 430, but max fuse size for motors is quite a bit larger than max breaker size, depending on the type of fuse.

From T430.52:
Non-time delay 300%, Time delay 175%, Circuit breaker 250%.

I forgot about that table. But doesn't that mean the fuse should be less than the breaker-- assuming time delay

I got confused. It’s instantaneous trip CBs that can go up to 800%, or 1100 for design E. Thanks.

Specs and installation instructions for that unit indicate the MOCP is 65 amps - fuses or circuit breaker.

I think it's just a typo on the label.

Or I'm wondering if the 35 amp breaker is supplemental OCP provided inside the unit, either for the inverter only, of maybe for the cooling/heating only.

Either way, I would follow the spec & installation instructions that call for a max. 65 A breaker or fuse.

My thought as well. Quality control on equipment labels is exceptionally poor.

It's all wrong. It make no sense

Yes exactly.

 

[Greentagger]

I agree. Probably an error on the labeling. I have never seen an MCA that exceeds the MOPD.

Well, I ran into one of these also. MCA greather than max breaker.
