TROUBLESHOOTING VOLTAGE PROBLEMS 

 
The compressor package has been designed, built, and tested to operate within one of the following 
standard ranges: 
 
 

200-208 Volts, 60 Hertz 

 

230-240 Volts, 60 Hertz 

 

460-480 Volts, 60 Hertz 

 

575-600 Volts, 60 Hertz 

Connection to higher voltages will reduce the life of electrical devices within the compressor package.  As 
voltages get further above the design range, other symptoms may show up. 
 
High voltages may lead to high motor currents.  The overload relay will sense these and shut down the 
compressor to protect the motor. 
 
If the control transformer primary fuses blow, check that the transformer is properly connected for the 
incoming line voltage. 
 
Operation with lower voltages will reduce motor life and load capacity.  As voltages get further below the 
design range, other symptoms may show up. 
 
Low voltages may lead to high motor currents.  The overload relay will sense these and shut down the 
compressor to protect the motor.  If voltage is low while the compressor is off, locate and correct the 
cause.  If the voltage drops low only while the compressor is running, look for poor connections or 
undersized wiring. 
 
If any of the starters or contactors within the box chatter, or if the electronic controller drops out while 
attempting to start, it is a clear indication that the wiring is inadequate for the compressor.  Look for poor 
connections or undersized wiring.
