(3) Start current control
R003,R004,R608,R613, detect the DC voltage at the power circuit. The microcomputer receives a
DC voltage and applies correction to the overload set value so the DC current will be low when the
DC voltage is high.
(Since the load level is indicated by the DC voltage multiplied by DC current, R247, R248 and R249
are provided to perform the same overload judgement even when the voltage varies.)
It is required to maintain the start current (DC current) constant to smooth the start of the DC motor
of the compressor.
RAC-10JH1 and RAC-14JH1 use software to control the start current.
The start current varies when supply voltage varies. This control method copes with variations in
the voltages as follows.
(1) Turns on the power module’s U
+
and V- transistors so the current flows to the motor windings
as shown in Fig. 6-6.
(2) Varies the turn-ON time of the U
+
transistor according to the DC voltage level and the start
is controlled so the start current is approx. 10A .
