Symptoms

The air conditioner reports a compressor overload. The compressor motor current exceeds the rated value.

Possible Causes

  • Excessive load from high compression ratio
  • Low supply voltage causing high current
  • Compressor motor winding degradation

Troubleshooting Steps

  1. Step 1: Check motor current against rated FLA
    Current is within limits
  2. Step 2: Verify supply voltage at the compressor
    Voltage is within 10 percent of rated
  3. Step 3: Test compressor motor insulation
    Insulation exceeds minimum standard

How to Reset

To reset: Clear the overload, allow the motor to cool, then reset.
