I. General
This supplement covers the HELIARC 250 AC/DC and Power
Sources with and without “power factor correction” specifi-
cally designed for 230/460/575 Volt — 60 Hertz service. They
are identical to their respective HELIARC 250 AC/DC units
(w/o pf - P/N 31300 and w/pf - P/N 31310) covered in Form
15-047 except for the following:
IMPORTANT: As shipped from the factory, all units are
hooked-up to operate from a 575 volt in-
put. If your input requirements do not
match the factory-shipped provision, the
following data should be heeded:
— You must change the input terminal board (TB) voltage
links to match your actual primary input voltage - as
described in Section II-C of this supplement.
A. Replacement Parts
Main Transformer (MTR) - P/N 31303 replaces P/N 31313.
Terminal Board Assy. (TB) - P/N 680424 replaces P/N 680047.
II. Form 15-047 is applicable to this unit except as
follows:

K Sized per National Electric Code for 75° C rated conductors @ 30° C ambient. Not
more than three conductors in raceway or cable. Local codes should be followed if
they specify sizes other than those listed above.
C. Primary Voltage Changeover Connections
As mentioned previously, the primary windings of the main
transformer are factory connected for 575 volt operation.
These connections are made by using reconnectable links
on the voltage changeover terminal board for the main trans-
former. This unit’s terminal board (illustrated following) is
silkscreened to show the available primary voltage connec-
tions which can be used.
