CONNECTIONS AND WIRING
at high temperature and thus at high resistance
as long as power is connected to the compres-
sor. When the compressor is switched off , the PTC
cools down to its initial low resistance and be-
comes available to support the next compressor
start.
It is important to provide suffi cient time between
motor starts to allow the PTC to cool down close
to ambient temperature. Depending on the am-
bient conditions and the cooling of the PTC, this
may take about 5 minutes. A restart before the
PTC is back to low resistance may be successful
or the motor may stall in a locked-rotor state de-
pending on the ambient and system's conditions.
A locked-rotor state causes the internal protector

Note: MLZ compressors with PTCSCR are not approved by UL. It is the customers' responsibility to get fi nal approval for the system
when required.
CSR wiring provides additional motor torque at
start-up, by the use of a start capacitor in combi-
nation with the run capacitor. The start capacitor
is only connected during the starting operation,
a potential relay is used to disconnect it after the
start sequence.
Some applications with high diff erential pressure
and start duty as "soft serve ice cream machine"
can require CSR wiring. This confi guration can
also be used to reduce erratic starting at unfa-
vourable conditions such as very low ambient
temperature or weak voltage.
Default solution: PSC wiring
with run capacitor only
