9-2-1. Circuit breaker trips (or fuse blows)
A. When the circuit breaker is set to ON, it is tripped soon. (Resetting is not possible.)
There is a possibility of ground fault.
Check insulation resistance.
If resistance value is 1MΩ or less, insulation is defective ("NO").
WARNING
*
Set circuit breaker to OFF.
1 Remove both power supply wires
and inter-unit wires from terminal
plate in outdoor unit.
•
Measure insulation resistance
of outdoor unit.
2 Remove inter-unit wires from
terminal plate in indoor unit.
•
Measure insulation resistance
of indoor unit.
B. Circuit breaker trips in several minutes after turning the air conditioner on.
There is a possibility of short circuit.
Check capacity of circuit breaker.
•
•
Capacity of circuit breaker is
suitable.
