the unit. 
4) Check air switches and fuse links for their models and using methods. 
a. Commercial air conditioning units must be installed with independent air switches, fuse links, 
and  similar  protectors.  Reasonable  models  and  using  methods  should  be  selected  for  air 
switches and fuse links. 
Remarks: 
a1. Air switches work for overload and short-circuit protection. Air switches provide a less breaking 
current than fuse links and air switches react more slowly than fuse links. The advantage of air switches 
is that they can be manually reset after a protection action. 
a2. Fuse links only work for short-circuit protection. They provide a large breaking current and act 
slowly. However, fuses must be replaced after a protection action. 
b. Select air switch models according to the power cable diameter and air switch specifications. 
In general, the rated current of air switches should be larger than or equal to the load current 
calculated based on the line, and less than or equal to the persistent current rating allowed by 
the conductor. 
5) Check components in the electric box. 
In the case of unit power-off, visually check whether any component in the electric box drops during 
transportation.  Then,  check  whether  any  component  or  cable  is  loose  or  drops  by  hand.  For  a 
large-scale  unit,  power  cable  terminals  of  the  patch  panel  and  cable  terminals  connected  with 
connectors must be tightened with a sleeve spanner or screwdriver, and tightened once more after two 
months of normal operation. Auxiliary contacts of AC connectors cannot be removed because they have 
been debugged upon factory departure. 
3.3.2.5 Check the input power. 
a. Power consistency check: Measure the power supply to be connected with the air conditioning 
unit  for  its  voltage,  frequency,  three-phase  voltage  unbalance  factor,  and  frequency  offset. 
Specifications of the power supply should be consistent with power specifications displayed on 
the unit nameplate. The fluctuation range of voltage should be within ±10%. 
b. Phase sequence check: 
b1. After powering on the unit, measure the grounded voltage value of N-bit on the power patch 
panel and the voltage value between every two of L1, L2, and L3 bits. In general, the voltage between 
N-bit and L1/L2/L3-bit should approach 220 V and the voltage between every two of L1, L2, and L3 bits 
should approach 380 V. If the measurement result does not match the above-mentioned normal value, 
check whether the external power cable is inversely connected between the N wire and one of L wires.   
b2. Observe the code displayed on the digital LED of the main board AP1. If the fault code “U3” is 
displayed,  it  indicates  that  the  phase  sequence  of  the  external  power  cable  connected  with  the  air 
conditioning unit is incorrect. Power off the unit and exchange any two phases among L1, L2, and L3 bits 
on one end of the external power cable. Power on the unit and observe the code again. The fault code 
“U3” should disappear.
