Start Current Control - Hitachi RAS-18FH6 Service Manual

R003,R004,R608,R613, detect the DC voltage at the power circuit. The microcomputer receives a DC
voltage and applies correction to the overload set value so the DC current will be low when the DC
voltage is high.
(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.)

(3) Start current control

It is required to maintain the start current (DC current) constant to smooth the start of the DC motor
of the compressor.
RAC-18YH6, RAC-25YH6 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
shown in Fig. 6-9.
2. Varies the turn-ON time of the U
controlled so the start current is approx. 10A .
