L5Inverter instantaneous overcurrent (DC)
Name in the manufacturer's documentation (user manual): Inverter instantaneous overcurrent (DC)
[1]
In plain words (editorial)
Instantaneous overcurrent in the inverter DC section. The service manual lists refrigerant-side causes (closed stop valve, clogged circuit, wrong charge, air or moisture) among others.
When to call a service technician: Refrigerant circuit checks need a technician with F-gas certification.

For technicians
Detection conditions (source text)
- An output overcurrent is detected by checking the current that flows in the inverter dc section[2]
Possible causes (source text)
- Closed stop valve in the refrigerant circuit[3]
- Clogged refrigerant circuit[4]
- Refrigerant overcharge or shortage[5]
- Non‑condensables and/or humidity in the refrigerant circuit[6]
- Faulty main pcb[7]
- Faulty compressor or miswiring of the compressor power supply cable[8]
- ▪ faulty or disturbance of the power supply (imbalance >4%), ▪ power drop, ▪ short circuit[9]
Steps given by the manufacturer (source text)
- Check that all stop valves of the refrigerant circuit are open[10]
- Check if the refrigerant circuit is clogged[11]
- Check if the refrigerant circuit is correctly charged[12]
- Check for the presence of non‑condensables and/or humidity in the refrigerant circuit[13]
- Perform a check of the main pcb[14]
- Perform a check of the compressor[15]
- Check if the power supply is conform with the regulations[16]
