REF COMPRESSOR OVERLOADING TROUBLE

The Main Circuit Breaker of one of our Refrigerated Container is tripping. This is happening after 30 mins of running. it does not have any alarm.
Here is the troubleshooting video I dit for your reference.

A very important video, just a few days I have this trouble with some vegetables But the original breakers have the possibility to set to 18 Amp behind the sticker of 16 Amp you will have the clock to arrange the amp Great video !!

I don’t understand how you can clamp one side of the breaker and see 17A and clamp the other side and see only 3A ? You’re not losing 14A through heat. If the contacts on the breaker were bad I can understand large loss but not even that much. I’m not Qualified Electrician but I deal with circuit breakers and fridge compressors with my work.

[@leckyjake]

that is the power meas circuit of which measuring the fans and heaters only, compressor not included.

Informative vlog. Please shoot more videos like this specially reefer container troubleshooting. Thanks 👍

Excellent video keep them coming.

interesting information greetings from sweden

[@leckyjake]

thank you very much. have a good day!

[@FrankMatawai]

Well explained, am currently doing my on job training with an on call company in Papua New Guinea. Still at my basic HVAC level and I like all your videos. I have a question about the Code LO being displayed "Low Mains Voltage how can I bypass.

Very informative video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge sir.

Very useful information

Great appreciate to your work ❤️

thanks

Thats Good Infor so if i dont have a circuit brewker that you can regulate amount of current drawing what should i do if current drawn from the power source is higher than supposed to pass on C.B?

[@leckyjake]

you have to borrow from a non hotstuff containers

[@ChoroTesla]

@@leckyjake Thank you sir. And Welcome to Tanzania🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿 and Visit our National Parks

[@leckyjake]

Thank you for the support

[@dammie2h]

Thank you for video

[@Ryan-xf3zi]

mate you shouldnt be upgrading the circuit breaker unless you upgrade your supply mains. The system is designed for a 16A circuit breaker. you could possible overload line and cause a fire.

[@leckyjake]

the main line is 440volts/3P/ 32 Amperes. fyi

[@Ryan-xf3zi]

@@leckyjake the system has 16A breaker on it for a reason, if it’s pulling more than 16A the motor is trying too hard. This is early signs of motor failure

[@kabarotv6591]

As per manual, the starcool minimum current rating is 16 Amperes and at maximum cooling capacity it is 18 Amperes. They started setting the unit at 16 A due to the demands., the vessel socket is rated at 32 Amperes so in papers if the unit is rated at 18 amperes and you need to use the splitter box to supply 2 containers, that would be 36A (again at least in papers), so to match it they reduce the breakers from 18 A to 16 Amperes only. Normally starcool will not evem draw 16 A of current, that is of the cargo inside was precooled before they put inside the container. If precooled the compressor will only run at 60 hz which will reduce the current it draws., but for the hotstuff Compressors are eveb running more than 100hz, the maximum is 110hz. Definitely that 16A will not be enough. Nice troubleshooting though.

@@kabarotv6591 Thanks for the info. It makes sense now. Is there a way to limit maximum frequency like on a VFD?

Did it take you a long time to get the refrigeration basics learned? Did you learn most of it in the classroom, or was it mostly on the job?

[@leckyjake]

to be honest, i learned it mostly on the job. every vessel has different set up and how much electrical situation I can have. so refrigeration is just part of the responsibility onboard

[@johncantrell614]

@@leckyjake thank you for your reply. I am a shipyard electrician who has found myself in a situation that the air conditioning technician had quit his position, and I have been put into his position until we can find another one. Mostly i would be doing the periodic maintenance, and some of the electrical troubleshooting, but I must admit that there is a lot to learn, and many things, like working with the Freon, that I cannot do, unless they would send me to ac school to get the proper certifications. But I do what I can electrically, that is why your videos are very informative. Thanks again!🙂

[@bjornmagnusson259]

have you 16 amp on reefer units?? On trailer reefers we have 32 amps...400 volt ..both on carrier unit and thermoking unit !!

[@leckyjake]

our reefer socket is 440/3P/ 32 amperes.

Why doesn't the display show you the maximum current that it is drawing instead of just that fans only current

[@AjayKumar-ll2zb]

Compressor connection circuit not connected through the power module. That is the reason why controller is reading less amps.

Pare Paso👍

I think 18 bar is to much that's why tripping

0:55 does the switch on the unit also turn off when the unit trips?
