Low DC voltage
sensed at the out-
door unit inverter
compressor DC
link.
System shut off because
the DC link voltage fell
below 50V (for both 208-
230V and 460V units), or
exceeded 550V (for 208-
230V units) or 1,000V (for
460V units) for a minimum
of 250μs.
1. Start diagnosis at the inverter socket on the outdoor unit noise
filter PCB.
2. There is a capacitor that is not working properly, or the voltage at
the capacitor is out of range (either high or low).
3. Disconnected DC link.
4. Damaged electrical condenser component (serving capacitor) on
inverter driver board.
Check DC link connections.

Always apply heat transfer paste to the new inverter PCB heat sink
before installing. For instructions, see “Replacing the Inverter PCB Heat
Sink” page later in this section.
