    Not getting power to mini split

    Just installed my mini split I’m almost sure I wired it correctly. It’s going from an outside panel to my disconnect box to my mini split. These are the items I’m using. Could it be a compatibility issue?? This seems like it might be the only explanations besides a defective mini split.
