4-4-13 Case study – Poor cooling caused by IPM overheated
- Problem : Poor cooling
- Condition : Compressor frequency doesn’t increase, IPM temperature is too high, Low pressure is high
- History
: 13.05.07 Trial operation
: 13.05.27 Inverter PBA, EMI PBA, Reactor replacement
: 13.05.27 IPM temperature ↑ → comp Hz ↓→cooling capacity↓
- Root cause : Bad contact of IPM cause by faulty bolt.
