DC PEAK
(IPM Fault)
WARNING
Before checking PCB or each outdoor electric parts, wait for 3 minutes after the power is off. When measuring at standby state
of power supply, after checking the measurement mode of the meter, be careful of the short-circuits with other parts.
■ Error Diagnosis and Countermeasure Flow Chart
Is installation

Cause of error
• Instant over current
• Over Rated current
• Poor insulation of IPM
1. Check Pipe clogging/distortion
2. Check Covering (Indoor/Outdoor Unit)
3. Check EEV connector assemble condition/normal
No
operation
4. Check refrigerant pressure
→ Reassemble or manage if abnormality found
1. Check resistance between each terminal of compressor
(0.438~0.628±7%)
No
2. Check insulation resistance between compressor
terminal and pipe (over 2MΩ)
→ Replace compressor if abnormality found
1. Check inverter PCB assembly U,V,W connector
connection condition
2. Check wire disconnection and wiring
No
3. Check compressor terminal connection condition
(bad contact)
→ Reassemble if abnormality found
Check inverter PCB assembly IPM normality
No
→ Replace inverter PCB assembly

Check point & Normal condition
• An instant over current in the U,V,W phase
- Comp lock
- The abnormal connection of U,V,W
• Over load condition
- Overcharging of refrigerant Pipe length.
Outdoor Fan is stop
