Dear Fellow RE members,
My name is Anggoro from Central Java, Indonesia.
We operate several McQuay Chiller (PEH 126). I have to admit that they are not new chillers, these chillers has started their operation in 1995 - 1997. In general, they are still running properly.
However, several time we experience tripping of chiller. The message in the display is: "LOW MOTOR CURRENT". Usually, we will reset the alarm and restart the chiller without any difficulty.
I try to talk with local McQuay tech and they suspect that it is caused by power disturbances, CPU/controller failure or cable connection problem. In many occasions, I check our power monitoring system and there is no power disturbances (sag/swell etc) when it happen. Cable connection seems okey as well. So we suspect that the cause is CPU/controller.
Does anyone in this community have any similar experiences? How do you solve the problem? Will replacing the CPU solve the problem?
I will be very grateful to have any feedback and advice from any of you.
Thank you very much.
Your sincerely,
Anggoro Yudho N
