Checking The Phase Diode Bridge; Checking The Inverter Compressor Phase Diode Bridge - LG Multi V5 Service Manual

Checking the Inverter Compressor Phase Diode Bridge

1. Shut off main power. After main power is shut off, wait at least ten (10) minutes until
inverter compressor PCB DC voltage is discharged.
WARNING
After switching off the main power supply and verifying that the DC voltage was discharged, wait
for at least ten (10) minutes before checking the electrical components in the control box. There
is risk of electric shock, physical injury or death.
2. Disconnect all connections to the three-phase diode bridge.
3. Set the multi-tester to diode mode.
4. Measured value must be 0.4V ~ 0.7V as shown in table below.
5. If the measured value is different than what is listed in the table below, set the multi-
6. If the diode bridge is damaged, check if the inverter PCB assembly (IPM) also needs to
be replaced.
