What are the reasons why electric compressors fail to start easily? How to rule it out? Answer: The common reasons why an electric compressor fails to start may be as follows: First, check the compressor unit to see if the bearing shells are holding the piston in place, whether there is anything stuck inside the cylinder, and if any foreign objects have fallen into the machine. If, after these checks, the flywheel can be turned easily by hand, it indicates that there is no fault with the compressor. Check the electrical components again: 1. One or two phases of the three-phase power supply are disconnected ； 2. The wire cross-section does not meet the requirements ； The fuse blew due to improper wiring of the 3 lakes ； 4. The stator windings have short circuits, open circuits, grounding issues, or wiring errors ； 5. Damaged control system or improper control ； 6. There is an open circuit in the wiring between the slip ring and the windings, or the brush does not make proper contact with the slip ring ； 7. The power supply voltage is too low. Exclusion method: 1. Check and eliminate the open circuit ； 2. Use wires that meet the requirements based on current capacity ； 3. Inspect the control system and adjust it to ensure an appropriate starting current ； 4. Check the wiring between the slip ring and the windings, as well as the contact between the slip ring and the brushes ； 5. Properly inspect and repair the stator windings to eliminate open circuits, short circuits, and wiring errors.
