    Re: Mitsubishi Heavy Idustries A/C Stopped

    Windings ohm readings on compressor are too low. Compressor motor failed.
    Power = voltage squared divided by resistance. 3phase compressor at 2.2 ohms= 72 Kws., single phase = 24 Kws drawn power.
    Probably what you do not what the here, the inrush current trip supply CB, as well destroy the contactor starting compressor, hence the smell of something burnt.

    Re: Mitsubishi Heavy Idustries A/C Stopped

    OK Thanks Magoo, What readings should I be if it was a good compressor.
    Are all these aircons made the same, as I tested my other aircon that's a Daikin same size and that's working fine to compare compressor ohms with as I wasn't sure if I was doing it right and it gave me a reading of 1.0 and 1.1 and I tested these with just a Digital Multimeter set on ohms setting of 200. Some one said it should be tested with a Insulation tester. Thanks
