6. CHECKING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
6-1 Measurement of Insulation
Resistance
The insulation is in good condition if the
resistance exceeds 2M
Ω
6-1-1. Power supply wires
Clamp the grounding terminal of the power plug
with a lead clip of the insulation resistance tester
and measure the resistance by placing a probe
on both the two power terminals. (fig.1)
Then, also measure the resistance between the
grounding and other power terminals. (fig.1)
6-1-2. Indoor Unit
Clamp a metallic part of the unit with the lead
clip of the insulation resistance tester and measure
the resistance by placing a probe on each terminal
screw where power supply lines are connected on the
terminal plate. (fig.2)
6-1-3. Outdoor Unit
Clamp an aluminium plate fin or copper tube with
the lead clip of the insulation resistance tester
and measure the resistance by placing a probe
on each terminal screw on the terminal plate. (fig.2)
Note that the ground line terminal should be skipped
for the check.
6-1-4. Measurement of Insulation
Resistance for Electrical Parts
Disconnect the lead wires of the desired electric
part from terminal plate, capacitor, etc.
Similary disconnect the connector.
Then measure the insulation resistance. (fig.3 and 4)
NOTE: Refer to electric wiring diagram
If the probe cannot enter the poles because the
hole is too narrow then use a probe with a
thinner pin.
