Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Three-phase systems carry dangerous voltages. Only qualified personnel should work inside the high-voltage compartment.
- Check breakers: Verify all three-pole breakers feeding the Trane condenser are ON and not tripped.
- Inspect lugs: With power off and locked out, tighten all line and load lugs at the contactor and disconnect.
- Phase monitor: If equipped, check the phase monitor relay indicator. A fault indication may require an electrician to correct incoming power or replace the relay.
Phase issues must be corrected by a licensed electrician or HVAC technician familiar with three-phase Trane equipment.
