Error Code: PC 0F – PFC Module Protection


What this means:
The system has detected an abnormal voltage signal related to the PFC (Power Factor Correction) module. This may be caused by faulty wiring, a damaged PFC module, defective inductance, or failure in the IPM or outdoor main board. The system shuts down to prevent damage.


Try this first (quick reset):

  1. Turn off the unit completely.

  2. Wait 2 full minutes.

  3. Turn the unit back on and check the display.

  • If the error clears — the issue may have been temporary.

  • If it persists — continue with the steps below.


Next steps (for technicians):

  1. Test IPM module first:

    • Measure resistance between U, V, W and P, N terminals.

    • If any reading is 0 or near 0, the IPM module is defective and should be replaced.

  2. Check PFC module connection:

    • Ensure the wire between the main PCB and PFC module is securely connected.

  3. Measure voltage between P and N terminals:

    • Refer to voltage guidelines for normal readings (typically DC 310–380V in standby).

    • If abnormal → proceed to check inductance.

  4. Test the PFC inductance:

    • Good inductance will show 0 ohm resistance between its two ports.

    • If not, replace the inductance.

  5. Replace components as needed:

    • If inductance is fine but the issue continues → replace the PFC module.

    • If the PFC module is good and voltage is still abnormal → replace the outdoor main PCB.


What you might need:

  • IPM module

  • PFC module

  • Outdoor PCB

  • Inductance

  • Connection wires


Helpful tip:
The PFC module is key for power stability. Before replacing the board, always test the IPM and inductance to isolate the root cause.
