So, it needs 240 VAC power and access to the 24 VAC line that controls the contactor AND the power company has to have a place to mount their gizmo close to a disconnect, Probably 3 feet, but check with codes in your area.
It was explained to me, they have a 240 or 208 input (two style units) and a contact relay that ties to the yellow thermostat line (to open and kill the unit). Explained to me by the installer. He said get him 240 or 208 and the thermostat wire and he would install it and we would get the credits.
So were do I fine a 480 to 240 OR 208 transformer that can handle say 2 amps of a load (their box and relay) on the 240 output side. That's the magic box I'm looking for. Ot a way to do the ground to 277 with output of 240 ot 208. Wish it was a Microchip, Atmel, Intel, moto, etc I was dealing with, or analog/digital circuit, but electrical is not my bag.
Thanks for all the help guys. If I ask the electrician he will have an $800 giant transformer for me. And I would like to put the unit inside the AC unit, but not required.
