5.3 Compressor Step Control 
The running speed of the compressors in rotations per second (rps) is half the frequency (in Hz) of the electrical input to 
the compressor motors. The compressor speed can be altered in increments of 1 rps. 
 
5.4 Operating Priority and Rotation of Compressors 
Figures  3-5.1  to  3-5.4  show  the  compressor  operating  priority  and  rotation  in  systems  with  one,  two,  three  and  four 
outdoor units. In units with two compressors, inverter compressor A (BP1) operates in priority to inverter compressor B 
(BP2). In multi-unit systems, units operate in rotation. In Figures 3-5.2 to 3-5.4 the master unit and slave units 1, 2 and 3 
are shown from left to right in that order, and the circled numbers (①, ②, ③, ④) indicate the rotation sequence.
