17 Condenser Fan Current Too Low MP4000

Description 

Condenser Fan 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 #16 and #17 is active this indicates too high phase difference. 
  • Expected fan current is a function of the power line frequency and the supply voltage. 
  • Above approximately 
    • - 0,5Amp@400VAC/50Hz 
    • - 0,6Amp@460VAC/60Hz 
  • Indicates: 
  • Defective condenser fan motor relay. 
  • Incorrect motor or motor connections. 
  • Defective or open fan motor internal over temperature protection switch. 
  • Defective volt or amp meter on power module. 

Corrective Action 

  • Enter Manual Function Test and start condenser fan. Make sure the fan starts. 
  • Check fan motor volts and amps. 
  • Expect 
    • - 1,0Amp@400VAC/50Hz 
    • - 1,2Amp@460VAC/60Hz
