Midea M-Thermal Arctic HT R290 Mono fault H7
Compressor voltage protection
Heat pumpWhat it means
Protects the M-Thermal Split from abnormally high or abnormally low AC supply voltages. Triggered when phase voltage is at or above 265V, or at or below 172V.
Likely causes
- Phase voltage at or above 265V
- Phase voltage at or below 172V
- Unstable AC power supply
- Low ambient temperature (T4<3°C) combined with low water-side temperature triggers freeze protection
- Water side temperature dropping below critical thresholds due to low flow, low ambient temperature, or system stoppage
- Abnormal state detected requiring compressor protection
- Set temperature reached (normal stop)
- Damage to cables
- Excessive number of connections
- Terminals not made to original specification
- Damage to seals
- Incorrect fitting of glands
- Abnormal system state detected
Where to start
- Measure AC phase voltage supply
- Check voltage stability and duration of any excursion beyond limits
- Monitor discharge temperature (Tp) and suction temperature (Th) during compressor operation

Safety: Isolate the outdoor unit and any backup heater, and give the inverter capacitors time to discharge before you open the electrics. Anything on the refrigerant circuit needs F-gas certification.
