4.23 Inverter
The function of the Inverter is to take the DC bus voltage as an input and generate the AC output
voltage to the compressor motor at the required fundamental frequency to generate the requested
shaft speed. Voltage to the motor is also controlled to provide the appropriate motor torque.
The Backplane sends +24VDC and gating signals to the Inverter from the BMCC. In return, the Inverter
sends current, temperature, error, and DC bus voltage information to the BMCC via the Backplane.
Motor currents and voltages displayed in the SMT cannot be directly compared or correlated to
incoming 3-phase AC values.
In the event of a 3-phase voltage power loss while the compressor is running, the Inverter switches
to Generator Mode, acting as a rectifier to maintain the DC bus voltage until the shaft comes to a
complete stop and de-levitates.

4.23.2 Inverter Verification
This procedure only verifies the Inverter diodes. The Inverter Control Board cannot be verified in the
field unless an inverter tester is used. A faulty Inverter may also appear as an “Inverter Error” fault.
4.23.2.1 Inverter Verification
1. Isolate the compressor power as described in Section "1.8 Electrical Isolation" on page 19 “.
2. Remove the Soft Start Module. Refer to "4.15.3 Soft Start Removal and Installation" on page
3. Remove the DC Capacitor Bus Bar Assembly. Refer to "4.22.3 DC Capacitor Bus Bar Assembly
Removal and Installation" on page 158.
4. Remove the Copper Tubes and fasteners connecting the motor bus bars to the Inverter
Module. Refer to "Figure 4-203 Inverter Copper Tube Removal" on page 171.
5. Disconnect the Inverter ribbon cable from the Inverter Module.
6. Using a multimeter set for diode measurements, place the red (+) multimeter lead on the
Inverter to Motor Bus Bars

• • • CAUTION • • •
A faulty Inverter module could be the result of a faulty Stator. If an Inverter module is found to be faulty, the Stator must be verified as
well.
