V-Y 1.15 Ω
U-X 1.15 Ω
W-Z 1.15 Ω

Also ensure to check to ground Meggering:
Value above 5 MΩ = OK
Value below 5 MΩ = Remove terminal block and measure again on windings directly:

  • If still below, replace compressor
  • If above replace terminal block only

3. The FC is defective and must be replaced. If there is no FC replacement available, the unit can be rewired for emergency operation: See “11. Emergency Operation” p. 54
