4.5 Compressor protection
All Copeland 2D*, 3D* and 8D* compressor models are factory-fitted with a compressor protection.
The letter "W" in the motor code of the 3-phase motors indicates a thermistor protection device. The
temperature-dependent resistance of the thermistor (PTC-resistance) is used to sense the winding
temperature. One chain of three thermistors (on 2D* and 3D* compressors) or two chains of three
thermistors (on 8D* compressors), each connected in series, are embedded in the motor windings
in such a manner that the temperature of the thermistors can follow with little inertia.
The 2D*, 3D* and 8D* compressors use the Kriwan modules INT69-2 and INT69TM-2, a new
generation of thermistor protection that has the same main features as the previous one (INT69 &
INT69TM). The motor protection module is connected to the thermistors in the terminal box. It
switches a control relay depending on the thermistor resistance:
INT69-2: one or two thermistor chains and 5-minute time delay
INT69TM-2: two thermistor chains
Caution: The maximum test voltage for thermistors is 3 V.
The total resistance of the thermistor chains on a cold compressor should be ≤ 1800 Ω.
