What is the suction pressure of the Copeland compressor?
Let’s look at Copeland compressor Model 3DS3-1500-TFC operating with HCFC-22. The suction pressure at the compressor is 43 psig and the condensing pressure at the compressor is 260 psig. We read 43 amps on our amperage meter and 230 V at the compressor terminals. Now we must apply this information to the curve sheet.
When to use amperage curves to diagnose compressor problems?
Amperage curves are an invaluable tool in diagnosing compressor problems. In this case, if you had a high amp draw and decided to replace the compressor, the new compressor would have operated the same as the previous one, until you found out why the suction pressure was high and you corrected it.
What causes high amperage in single phase compressor?
Think back on mechanical motor loading. The overloading could be a mechanical problem, like worn bearings, worn rods, etc. If we were looking at a single-phase compressor, the high amperage could be caused by a bad run capacitor.
What happens when an ohm compressor is tripped?
The internal overload is wired in series with both the start and run winding which prevents the compressor from coming on. If it’s tripped, you will read infinity (OL) between S to C and R to C, while seeing a measurable resistance between R to S. In this case, the compressor may be extremely hot to the touch.
What should the Ohm reading be in a 3 phase compressor?
In a 3 phase compressor, each Ohm reading from terminal to terminal should essentially be the same. For example, if you had an Ohm reading of 2 between T1 and T3, then you should have an Ohm reading of 2 between T2 and T3. So, you should get the same Ohm reading, approximately, across all terminals.
Can a hermetic compressor have an internal short?
Again, if there is a variance in the readings, there could be an internal short in the windings. Since these checks are electrical checks of the MOTOR of the compressor, it does not matter if it is a reciprocating, scroll, hermetic or semi-hermetic compressor. All the windings checks, for opens, shorts, and grounds are performed the same.
Which is an example of an electrical short in a compressor?
Example: (C-S)= 3 ohms and (C-R)= 1 ohm then (S-R) should = 4 ohms. If these readings cannot be obtained, chances are there is an internal short in the windings of the compressor
