Compressor Position Detection Error

Mitsubishi Electric · FR-D700 Inverter

What does E60 mean?

An error has occurred in detecting the compressor's rotational position, which is critical for proper inverter control. This can prevent the compressor from starting or running smoothly, leading to system shutdown.

Common Causes

  • Failure of the compressor's internal position or speed sensor.
  • Communication error with the compressor's integrated control module.
  • Incorrect encoder feedback from the compressor motor.
