Protective function
1
Excessive high or low voltage for inverter
a. Level of detection
When the voltage of direct current is greater than (A) V, abnormalities are detected.
When the voltage of direct current is smaller than (B) V, abnormalities are detected.
Power supply
3N~ 400V 50Hz
(A)
750
(B)
350
b. Function
. When abnormalities are detected, the inverter compressor is stopped and transmits the signal code of
stoppage cause to PCB1.
c. Cancellation of protection function
. Transmission for signal code of stoppage cause is cancelled when a
stopping order is given or main power source is cut off.
2
Abnormality of current sensor
a. Level of detection
. When current of the inverter compressor decreases lower than 1.5 A during the inverter
compressor frequency between 15Hz and 18Hz, an abnormality is detected.
b. Function
. When abnormalities are detected, the inverter compressor is stopped, and transmits the signal code of
stoppage cause to PCB1.
c. Cancellation of protection function
. Transmission for signal code of stoppage cause is cancelled when a
stopping order is issued or main power source is cut off.
3
Overcurrent protection for inverter
a. Level of detection
.
When the current detected by current sensor reaches 150% of the rated current, overcurrent is detected.
(Instantaneous overcurrent).
When the current detected by current sensor exceeds 105% of the rated current continuously for 30 seconds
or for 3.5 minutes in total during a 10 minutes period, overcurrent is detected. (Electric thermal relay)
b. Function
. When abnormalities are detected, the inverter compressor is stopped and transmits the signal code of
stoppage cause to PCB1.
c. Cancellation of protection function
. Transmission for signal code of stoppage cause is cancelled by stopping
order is issued or main power source is cut off.
4
Protection of IPM/DIP-IPM
a. Level of detection
.
When some of the output terminals between “U” and “V”, “V” and “W”, “W” and “U” of IPM/dip IPM are short-
circuited, an abnormality is detected.
When the running current of IPM/DIP-IPM reaches (maximum rated current x 105%), an abnormality is
detected.
When an internal temperature is measured by internal thermistor of IPM, an abnormality is detected.
When the control voltage of IPM/DIP-IPM decreases, an abnormality is detected.
b. Function
. When abnormalities are detected, the inverter compressor is stopped and the signal code of stoppage
cause is transmitted to PCB1.
c. Cancellation of protection function
. Transmission for signal code of stoppage cause is cancelled when a
stopping order is issued or main power source is cut off.
5
Fin temperature increase
a. Level of detection
. When the temperature of internal thermistor exceeds more than 90ºC (for 4-6HP) or 100°C
(for 8/10HP), an abnormality is detected.
b. Function
. When abnormalities are detected, the inverter compressor is stopped and the signal code of stoppage
cause is transmitted to PCB1.
c. Cancellation of protection function
. Transmission for signal code of stoppage cause is cancelled when a
stopping order is issued or main power source is cut off.
