17.6 To check the insulation resistance of the compressor
NOTICE
If, after installation, refrigerant accumulates in the compressor, the insulation
resistance over the poles can drop, but if it is at least 1MΩ, then the unit will not
break down.
▪ Use a 500V mega-tester when measuring insulation.
▪ Do NOT use a mega-tester for low voltage circuits.
1 Measure the insulation resistance over the poles.
If Then
≥1MΩ Insulation resistance is OK. This procedure is
finished.
<1MΩ Insulation resistance is not OK. Go to the next step.
2 Turn ON the power and leave it on for 6hours.
Result: The compressor will heat up and evaporate any refrigerant in the
compressor.
3 Measure the insulation resistance again.
