I had a request in the comments on the Klimaire DIY Mini Split install video to get a closer look at the Disconnect Box, so here we are.
The cover and protective plate were removed before I started filming.
The 24000 BTU unit pulls 14 amps, so it is wired up to a 20 Amp Double Pole Breaker using 12 AWG Outdoor Rated Romex. (UV/UB).
Wiring is basic. You have L1, L2 and Ground in the unit, plus a quick connect for the control wires.
Put the ground on ground, and one of your hot wires on each of the L1 and L2 connections, doesn't matter which one gets the black or white wires.
Disconnect box wiring is also simple, put the two blacks on one side, the two whites on the other, and the ground wires to the ground lug.
I've had this system up and running for almost a year now with no issues, breaker has never tripped, and the electric bills are a lot lower than before.

Hope this helps, and please consider hitting that Subscribe button.
