Inspect Wiring
1. Examine wiring for con formance to job wiring dia grams and to all applicabl e electrical
codes.
2. On low-voltage compressors (600 v or less) connect voltmeter across the power wires to
the compressor star t er and measure the voltage . Compare this reading wit h the voltage
rating on the compressor and starter nameplates.
3. Compare the ampere ra ti ng on the starter namepl at e with the compressor na me pla te. The
overload trip amps must be 108% to 120% of the rated loa d amps.
Do not check voltage supply without proper equipment and precautions. Serious
injury may result. Follow power company recommendations.
