Protection activation of inverter module (RASC-(4-6)HNPE)
The inverter PCB (DIP-IPM) has a function of abnormality detection. This alarm is indicated when the inverter module
detects the abnormality 7 times in 30 minutes including 7. Retry operation is performed up to the occurrence of 6 times.
Conditions:
• The abnormal current such as short circuited, grounded or the overcurrent occurs at the inverter module.
• The temperature at inverter module increases abnormally.
• The control voltage decreases.
• The angle difference between the shaft in compressor and the shaft in the control program e60deg.
Turn OFF power, disconnect U,
V, W from compressor terminals
and restart.

N O T E
• *1): Perform the high voltage discharge work by referring to the paragraph
• *2): Regarding replacing or checking method for the inverter PCB, refer to the paragraph
in section
Checking procedure for the inverter PCB”.
• *3): Turn ON the number 1 switch of the dip switch DSW1 on DIP-IPM when restarting with disconnecting the terminals of the
compressor. After troubleshooting, turn OFF the number 1 switch of the dip switch DSW1 on DIP-IPM.
