R500, R253, detect the DC voltage at the power circuit. The microcomputer receives a DC voltage (260-
●
380V) via HIC
the DC voltage is high (low).
(Since the load level is indicated by the DC voltage multiplied by DC current, R247, R248, R249 are
provided to perform the same overload judgement even when the voltage varies.)
< During start current control >
It is required to maintain the start current (DC current) constant to smooth the start of the DC motor for
●
the compressor.
RAC-50YH4 uses software to control the start current.
●
The start current varies when the supply voltage varies. This control method copes with variations in the
●
voltages as follows.
(1) Turns on the power module's U + and V – transistors so the current flows to the motor windings as
shown in Fig8-9.
(2) Varies the turn-ON time of the W + transistor according to the DC voltage level and the start is
controlled so the start current is approx. 10A as shown in Fig. 8-10.
