This document provides information about resolving intermittent high motor current faults that may occur on some YCAV and YCIV chiller models with specific VSD logic boards. The faults are caused by outdated software that can be updated by replacing the EPROM chip on the logic board. Safety precautions are included for qualified technicians performing the work.

Information INTERMITTENT HIGH MOTOR CURRENT FAULTS

GENERAL
Intermittent repetitive High Motor Current faults may occasionally be experienced on a small number of YCAV
and YCIV chillers with 031-02507-XXX VSD Logic Boards. Chillers most likely to experience the problem are
50 Hz chillers. In most cases where faults are noted, it will only be obvious after viewing the history faults, since
the chiller will normally simply restart and resume cooling as if nothing has happened. Only in rare cases are faults
obvious in the general operation of the chiller.
Please note that legitimate faults should not be confused with repetitive intermittent faults, since the high motor
current protection circuit is designed to protect the inverter against sudden voltage sags that could damage power
components due to high motor current that results when the line voltage drops. A line sag of a few line cycles will
legitimately cause the high motor current protection circuit to function.
RESOLUTION
The problem can be easily resolved by changing the 031-02649-XXX software on the 031-02507-XXX VSD Logic
Board. Replace the part based on the part number of the U52 EPROM currently installed. The part numbers with
the latest respective version and checksums are listed below.

PART NUMBER VERSION CSUM (Check sum)


031-02649-001 C.VSD.09.01 2C45
031-02649-002 C.VSD.79.01 2D05
031-02649-003 C.VSD.89.01 2EF4

When replacing the EPROM, turn power off and assure the new chip is installed in the correct orientation based on
the location of the notch or indentation on the chip. The notch should always line up with the silkscreened notch
on the circuit board.
