Summary

General Warnings and Safety Precautions

Start Winding Current Monitoring

Measure start winding current on start-up, typically 2 to 10 AMPS.

Locked Rotor Voltage Check

Check pull-down voltage before removing a suspect compressor.

Compressor Start Failure Troubleshooting

Verify Compressor Components

Check run capacitor, start components, contactor, windings, grounding, and terminals.

Locked Rotor Pull-Down Voltage (LRPDV) Test

Test LRPDV before removing compressor; voltage drop below threshold indicates issue.

Direct Wiring Test

Wire directly to compressor terminals to eliminate system variables for testing.

Compressor Installation Procedures

Verify Proper Application

Ensure capacity, refrigerant, voltage, and frequency match the application.

Determine Initial Failure Cause

Identify and repair the root cause of the previous compressor failure.

Compressor Installation Procedures (Continued)

Mounting and Tubing Connections

Mount compressor using provided grommets, avoid prolonged atmospheric exposure.

System Operation Verification

System Component Checks

Electrical Components and Features

Muffler Requirements

Compressor Label Information
