Wait at least 2 hours for overload to reset.
open internal overload.
If still open, replace the compressor.
• Low voltage condition
At compressor terminals, voltage must be within 10% of rating
plate volts when unit is operating.
Insufficient cooling
• Improperly sized unit
•
Recalculate load
• Improper airflow
•
Check - should be approximately 400 CFM per ton.
• Incorrect refrigerant charge
•
Charge per procedure attached to unit service panel.
• Air, non-condensibles or moisture in system
•
Recover refrigerant, evacuate & recharge, add filter drier
• Incorrect voltage
•
At compressor terminals, voltage must be within 10% of rating
plate volts when unit is operating.
Compressor short cycles
• Incorrect voltage
•
At compressor terminals, voltage must be ± 10% of
nameplate marking when unit is operating.
• Defective overload protector
•
Replace - check for correct voltage
