● Overload control is to decrease the speed of the compressor and reduce the load when the load on the
air conditioner increases to an overload state, in order to protect the compressor, electronic components
and power breaker.
● Overloads are judged by comparing the DC current level and set value.
● Fig. 8-1 shows the overload control system configuration and Fig. 8-2 is a characteristic diagram of
overload judgement values. There are two judgement methods-external judgement which compares the
externally set value with the DC current value regardless of the rotation speed and internal judgement
which compares the set value that varies according to the rotation speed programmed in the microcomputer
software with the DC current value.
