Overcurrent of Inverter Compressor

1. Meaning of Alarm

• Secondary current effective value detected the overcurrent (trip current value).
• Single-phase model: Trip current = 24.0 A
• 3-phase model: Trip current = 18.0 A

•  Secondary current instantly detected over xx A.
• Single-phase model: xx A = 45.0 A
• 3-phase model : xx A = 36.0 A

	2-6	Disconnected parts, miswiring and/or poor connections (loose) are observed in the connections of HIC board(s) that are connected by wiring to a compressor.	Yes	Correct
			No	3-1
3 Compressor wiring	3-1	Disconnections and/or miswiring are observed in the connecting location of the compressor terminals.	Yes	Correct
			No	3-2
	3-2	Conditions such as burned terminal covers and/or discolored terminals are observed in the connecting location of the compressor terminals.	Yes	Eliminate looseness by changing the termi-nals, or crimping the terminals again.
			No	4-1
4 Check the situation	4-1	Outdoor air intake temperature is high.	Yes	Take measures
			No	4-2
	4-2	May be caused by poor outdoor unit air flow (dirty or clogged heat exchanger, blocked discharge port, etc.)	Yes	Correct
			No	4-3
	4-3	Air short circuit has occurred. This is a phenomenon when discharged air (exhaust heat) from the outdoor unit is drawn back into the suction vent.	Yes	Prevent air short circuit
			No	4-4

			No	5-5
	5-5	Tends to have insufficient refrigerant charge in the system.	Yes	Adjust the amount of refrigerant
			No	5-6
	5-6	Even though the high pressure saturation temperature is 43°C or less, the secondary current of the inverter is high. (The frequency (Hz) ends up dropping due to the current.)	Yes	Replace the compressor
			No	See what happens.

			No	6-2
	6-2	There is a history of H31 in the pre-trip counter of the outdoor EEPROM alarm history.	Yes	Replace the oil. How-ever if 6-1 was "no," it is not necessary to add oil.

			No	9-1
9 Check the HIC PC boards	9-1	Replace the HIC PC board and operate the unit. (Apply putty and screws must not be loose) Does it operate normally?	Yes	See what happens.
			No	10-1
10 Check the outdoor unit mainPC board	10-1	Replace the control PC board and operate the unit.

• (Check content of 7) The test check of the HIC board is only a check on the output level, so the input stage may not be working.
• With the filter board broken, alarm P16 may not be triggered.

• HIC board IPM Pass/Fail Tests

• Measure with an analog tester. (Set to the k ohm range.)
• Measure the board by itself. (Remove wires connected from other parts.)
• Measure using IPM terminals.
  ✭  Conforming part resistance value (measure with an analog tester)

Excepting the parts of 100 k to ∞, it is acceptable if a small resistance value appears as a reference value unless the value is 0 = short-circuit.
