(2) IPM Protection, Out-of-step Fault, Compressor Phase Overcurrent (AP1  below  refers to  the outdoor  control 
panel)
Main check points:
●Is the connection between control panel AP1 and compressor COMP secure? Loose? Is the connection in correct order?
●Is the voltage input of the machine within normal range? (Use AC voltmeter to measure the voltage between terminal L and N on the 
wiring board XT)
●Is the compressor coil resistance normal? Is the insulation of compressor coil against the copper tube in good condition?
●Is the working load of the machine too high? Is the radiation good?
I●s the charge volume of refrigerant correct?
Fault diagnosis process:
Energize and 
switch on
IPM protection 
occurs after the 
machine has run for 
a
eriod of time?
Use AC voltmeter 
to measure the 
voltage between 
terminal L and N 
on the wiring 
board XT)
If the voltage 
between terminal L 
and N on wiring 
board XT is within 
210VAC~250VAC?
Check the supply 
voltage and 
restore it to 
210VAC~250VAC
Voltage between 
the two ends of celectrolytic 
capacitor is 
Restart the unit. Before 
protection occurs, 
use DC voltmeter to 
measure the voltage 
between the two 
ends of electrolytic 
capacitor on control 
panel AP1 
If the unit can 
work 
normally? 
Please confirm:   
1. If the indoor and 
outdoor heat 
exchangers are 
dirty? If they are 
obstructed by other 
objects which affect 
the heat exchange 
of indoor and 
outdoor unit.   
2. If the indoor and 
outdoor fans are 
working normally? 
3. If the environment 
temperature is too 
high, resulting in 
that the system 
pressure is too high 
and exceeds the 
permissible range? 
4. If the charge 
volume of 
refrigerant is too 
much, resulting in 
that the system 
pressure is too 
high?
5. Other conditions 
resulting in that the 
system pressure 
becomes too high.
The connection 
of capacitor C2 
is loose.
Reconnect the 
capacitor C2 according 
to Electrical Wiring 
Diagram. Then, 
Restart the
unit.
Stop the unit and 
disconnect the power 
supply. Wait 20 minutes, 
or use DC voltmeter to 
measure the voltage 
between the two ends of 
capacitor C2, until the 
voltage is lower than 20V
Replace the capacitor 
C2. Then, energize 
and start the unit.
Replace the 
control panel AP1
Take corrective actions 
according to Technical 
Service Manual, and 
then energize and start 
the unit.
If there is any 
abnormality 
described above?
Replace the 
control panel AP1
If the connection 
between AP1 and 
COMP is unsecure 
or the connection 
order is wrong?
Connect the control panel
