winding
heating control
This control is to prevent stagnation of refrigerant in
the compressor case by a supply of current to heat the
windings while the inverter compressor is off. This
control is executed by the inverter outdoor unit only. If
the supply of current is not turned on for a specified
time before trial operation, when installation work has
finished, a fault of the compressor may occur. If the
power source is interrupted for a period of time it is
necessary to switch power to the system for a minimum
of 24 hours before commencing system operation
(1) Control conditions
Compressor stops and TD<35°C.
(2) Contents of control
This control is executed by temperature detected by
TK3 sensor as shown in the following figure.
NOTE:
Switching may be heard during heat winding
operation, but it is not an error/fault.
10. Crank case
heater control
This control is executed by the fixed-speed unit only.
(1) Control contents
