2-15 Compressor Current Detection Circuit
The Compressor Current Detection Circuit detects the compressor current and,
depending on the current range, can stop the compressor motor so it will not be
damaged by overcurrent.
Overcurrent can be caused by several factors, particularly mechanical seizing of the
compressor or liquid backflow. Either of these conditions can hold the compressor
to run, and thus drawing so much current that the motor can burn out.

Chart Summary and Explanations
Overload Protection
When the detected current is 1.17 – 1.4 times greater than the rated current value (Is) and continues
for 30 seconds, both compressor and outdoor fan stop (Thermostat OFF).
After 3-minute pause, if the air conditioner is ready for Thermostat ON, it starts again. However, if the
condition mentioned above repeats twice within 30 minutes, the remote controller displays the alarm
message H01, compressor overload.
Locked Compressor Cut-off
When the detected current is 1.4 times greater than the rated current value (ls) and continues for 2
seconds, both compressor and outdoor fan stop (Thermostat OFF).
After 3-minute pause, if the air conditioner is ready for Thermostat ON, it starts again. However, if the
condition mentioned above repeats twice, the remote controller displays the alarm message H02,
compressor locked.
Failure of Compressor Current Detection
When the Compressor Current Detection Circuit fails to detect the compressor current within 2
seconds after compressor starts, both compressor and outdoor fan stop (Thermostat OFF).
After 3-minute pause, if the air conditioner is ready for Thermostat ON, it starts again. However, when
the circuit fails to detect the current twice in a row, the remote controller displays alarm message H03,
Failure of compressor Current Detection.
