Answer to Question 1

FLA - full load amps, gives the approximate operating fan amp draw Minimum Voltage -lowest voltage unit can safely operate Maximum Voltage - highest voltage unit can safely operate

Minimum Circuit Ampacity - power wire to unit must be able to carry at least this many amps, used to size the power wire.
Maximum Overcurrent Protection - largest fuse or breaker that may be used
