13 Evaporator Fan High Speed Current Too Low MP4000

Description

Evaporator Fan High Speed Current Too Low 

  • Occurs during pretrip (PTI) or function test only. 
  • Fan power consumption is 33% below expected current draw or phase current level differs 33% or more. 
  • If both alarm #12 and #13 is active this indicates too high phase difference. 
  • Expected fan current is a function of the power line frequency and the supply voltage. 
  • With 20’ setting below approximately 
    • - 1,4Amp@400VAC/50Hz 
    • - 2,0Amp@460VAC/60Hz 
  • With 40’ setting below approximately 
    • - 0,9Amp@400VAC/50Hz 
    • - 1,4Amp@460VAC/60Hz 
  • Indicates: 
  • Defective or open fan motor internal over temperature protection switch. 
  • Incorrect motor or motor connections. 
  • Defective volt or amp meter on power module. 

Corrective Action 

  • Open evaporator door and make sure all fans rotate freely. 
  • Enter Manual Function Test and start evaporator fans on high speed. Make sure all fans start on high speed. If a motor does not start and is very hot, wait 10 minutes for internal over temperature switch to close. 
  • Enter Manual Function Test and start evaporator fans on high speed. Make sure all fans start on high speed. Check fan motor volts and amps. 
  • With 20’ setting expect 
    • - 2,4Amp@400VAC/50Hz 
    • - 3,1Amp@460VAC/60Hz 
  • With 40’ setting expect 
    • - 1,8Amp@400VAC/50Hz 
    • - 2,4Amp@460VAC/60Hz
