SEQUENCE OF OPERATION E32 series medium duty, field convertible commercia l electr ic water heaters are designed to operate using single pha se or three phase service connectio ns. On e size fits all Inte rnal fusing is factory installed for all units. When field conversions are required, no fuse change is necessary . Three surface mounted thermost[...]

Page 6 FIELD CONVERSION FOR: KW, Voltage and Phase All E32 series medium duty commercial water heaters are fact ory wired to the maximum electrical duty for which they have been designed. Therefore, internal electrical co mponents satisfy the ma ximum voltage and maximum ele ctrical current conditions. These instructions do not allow for a modifica[...]

Electrical Phase Conversion Electrical phase conversion will require a change fro m si ngle-phase to three-phase or an opposite conversion change from three-phase to single-pha se. Each of thes e conversions will be explai ned sepa rately as follows: Three-Phase to Single-Phase 1. Disconnect blue and yellow wires from terminal L-3 of the termin al [...]

The heaters rating plate will need to be modified because t he conversion altered the electr ical characteristics of the heater. Refer to the illustration below that displays a typical co mmercial electric rating plate that is to be altered. This rating plate is placed on every Commercial Electric water heater produced by Bradford Wh ite Corporatio[...]

TROUBLESHOOTING Most common cause for improper electric water heater operation can be linked to h eating element failure. When troubleshooting an ele ctric water heater with the inci dence of “No Hot Water” or “Insufficient Amoun t of Hot Water” It is always a good idea to check the heati ng elements first fo llowing the procedu re on page [...]
