CB TEST PROCEDURE This is a guideline for the operational tests for air-conditioners at the O.Y.

L Research and Development Center. The relevant clause can be found in standard IEC !""#-$ and IEC !""#-%-&!. The clauses to be done are $!' $$' $"' $ and $(. Setup Open the motor casing and place a thermocouple )rapped )ith blac* tape to the )inding. Ensure the contact is firm )ith cable ties. The thermocouple is placed near the thermal overload. +ttach thermocouples to the components' li*e, $%"&#12(.uppl/ cords .uppl/ terminals Compressor top Rela/s Contactors 0otor capacitors .urface of transformers .urface of fan motors Control bo3

4or components )hich contains a )inding 5e.g. transformer' fan-motor- the temperature in the )inding has to be measured b/ the resistance method. This measurement )ill be done immediatel/ after the end of the heating test. Test Method Disconnect all )ires from motor and measure the cold resistance of the main and au3iliar/ )inding separatel/ and note the ambient temperature. Connect the internal )ires to the motor again and start the unit Clause 10, Power input: Let it run at upper level of rated voltage range' %&!6 for rated voltage %%!-%&! or &$#6 for voltage "2!-&$# until the temperatures stabili7es. . 0easure the ma3imum po)er input and note it. Raise the suppl/ voltage to $$!8 of rated suppl/ voltage and measure the voltage for the motor capacitor.

Clause 1!, "ea#a e $urrent at operatin te%perature: Let the unit run at suppl/ voltage to $.! times the upper level of the rated voltage %#&65$.! 3%&!6- or 5$.! 3&$#6-' and let the temperatures stabili7es.

Clause 1&, '(nor%al operation )"o$#ed Rotor Test*: +llo) the unit to cool do)n to ambient temperature and loc* the motor shaft. Run the motor at upper level of rated voltage range' %&!6 for rated voltage %%!-%&! or &$#6 for voltage "2!-&$# until the temperatures stabili7es' or until the thermal cut-out or overload protector operates. If a separate overload protector operates 5e.g. contactor )ith overload protection- the procedure for measuring the )inding is the same as the procedure of clause $$ heating test. If a thermal cut-out operates' the procedure for measuring the )inding is the same as the procedure of clause $$ heating test. In some cases' onl/ the total resistance of the main and au3iliar/ )inding can be measured.
