7-2-2. Current Control

The operating current may rise as a result of causes including increasing heating or cooling loads or decreases in power voltage. In these cases, the operating frequency is automatically reduced, or operation is stopped, in order to control the operating current so that it is (20 A) or less.

As a result:

Power breakers and fuses will not be tripped.

Operation can continue during this period with somewhat reduced heating or cooling capacity.

Operation at normal capacity is restored when the cause of the current rise is eliminated.

Reduces the frequency by 1 Hz per 0.5 seconds when Point B is exceeded.

Stops operation, and restarts it appoximately 3 minutes later, if Point C is exceeded. (May operate when sudden voltage fluctuations occur. Indicates trouble.)
