1. Applicable model
5. Troubleshooting
Outdoor unit
Diagnosis
Countermeasure
2. Error detection method
When anomalously high output
current of inverter is detected
by the current sensor mounted
in the power transistor.
3. Condition of error displayed
When 88A or higher output
current of inverter is detected 4
times within 15 minutes.
4. Presumable cause
• Compressor anomaly
• Leakage of refrigerant
• Power transistor module
anomaly
• Anomalous power supply for
inverter PCB
• Outdoor fan motor anomaly
Note:
*3 Measurement position: B and - of C19
*4 Measurement position: Check resistance between P-U, P-V, P-W, N-U, N-V, N-W, P-N. (Disconnect compressor wires before measurement.).
If it fails to repeat, connect the Mente PC, and continue to collect data.
Repair according to the
troubleshooting E48.
Replace compressor.
Check oil separator cavity
strainer. (Replace if necessary.)
Check, record operating condition.
Check, record operating condition.
Check pressure for anomaly.
Wait and see.
Replace compressor.
Wait and see.
Replace compressor on which
error occurred initially.
Replace power transistor.
Replace power transistor.
Replace inverter PCB.
Save data for 30 minutes before stopping in Mente PC.
Evaluate data 30 minutes earlier.

Does it
repeat on other
compressor?
Reset the power supply, and restart.
Change wire
connections on inverter
and compressor, and
operate again.
Check compressor
coil, resistance, megavolt, motor
insulation for anomaly.
Is outdoor fan running?
Does it repeat?
Does the system have
one compressor only?
Is 15V detected
on inverter PCB?
(

3)
Is there
inverter output?
Check
inverter PCB for
defect with the
checker.
Check resistance
between power transistor
modules. (Is it short-
circuited?)
(

4)
If error display of E42 does change.
Does it repeat?
Measure after confirming that
52C or 52X is turned ON.
Replace inverter PCB.
(Repeats on one
unit only.)
