07 Compressor Current Too Low MP4000

Description

Compressor Current Too Low 

  • Occurs during pretrip (PTI) or function test only. 
  • During compressor test, if Compressor power consumption is 25% below 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 or open high pressure cutout switch. 
  • Defective or open low pressure cutout switch or transmitter if mounted. 
  • Defective compressor relay. 
  • Defective volt or amp meter on power module. 
  • Low refrigerant charge 
  • Defective compressor. 
  • Defective volt or amp meter on power module. 
  • Inaccurate condenser or evaporator temperature measurement. 
  • Defective or open compressor motor internal over temperature protection switch. 

Corrective Action 

  • Check evaporator, 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 discharge and suction pressure gauge readings. 
  • Check power supply volts on all 3 phases.
