Alarm 24 Scroll Compressor IP

In the EliteLINE® & PrimeLINE® units’ scroll compressors, Carrier Transicold uses a 3-phase Internal Protector (IP) embedded in the compressor motor winding that opens two of three high voltage power supply connections to stop the motor when it overheats. The connections are located at the wye connection within the compressor motor winding.
