06 Compressor Current Too High MP4000

Description

Compressor Current Too High 

  • Occurs during pretrip (PTI) or function test only. 
  • During compressor test, if Compressor power consumption is 25% above expected current draw or compressor phase current level differs 33% or more. 
  • If both alarm #6 and #7 is active this indicates too high phase difference. 
  • Expected compressor current is a function of the surrounding conditions. 
  • Indicates: 
  • Defective Digital Control valve. 
  • Defective compressor. 
  • Defective volt or amp meter on power module. 
  • Inaccurate ambient, condenser or evaporator temperature measurement. 
  • Excessive condenser pressure due to air or wrong refrigerant in system, or refrigerant over charge

Corrective Action 

  • Check evaporator and condenser sensor temperatures for correct value (± 5 C [± 9 F]) by viewing Data menu. 
  • To determine the current draw measurement, enter Manual Function Test menu. Start and check current draw of the following components separately and together: compressor, compressor full loaded, condenser fan and evaporator fan (high or low). 
  • Check power supply volts on all 3 phases.
