Error Code: PC 30 – System High Pressure Protection

Modified on Thu, 22 May at 3:48 PM

Error Code: PC 30 – System High Pressure Protection


What this means:
The system has shut down because the outdoor pressure switch detected a high pressure above 4.4 MPa. This protection prevents compressor damage due to overheating or blockage in the refrigerant loopTS34.


Try this first (quick reset):

  1. Power off the system.

  2. Wait 2 minutes.

  3. Turn it back on and check if the error clears.

  • If the error clears — pressure has stabilized.

  • If not — begin troubleshooting the high pressure side.


Next steps (for technicians):

  1. Check wiring between high pressure switch and main PCB:

    • If not connected correctly → reconnect the wires securely.

  2. Measure resistance of the high pressure protector:

    • Disconnect the plug.

    • If resistance ≠ 0 → replace the high pressure protector.

    • If resistance = 0 → continue.

  3. Check outdoor ambient temperature:

    • If temperature is over 50°C → allow the unit to cool down.

  4. Check ventilation around outdoor unit:

    • Ensure air inlets/outlets are not blocked.

  5. Inspect heat exchanger:

    • If dirty → clean the outdoor coil.

  6. Check outdoor fan operation:

    • If not spinning properly → repair or replace the outdoor fan.

  7. Verify refrigerant system functionality:

    • If pressure remains abnormal despite fixes → replace the outdoor main PCB.


What you might need:

  • High pressure protector

  • Connection wires

  • Outdoor fan

  • Outdoor main PCB

  • Cleaning tools


Helpful tip:
Most PC 30 errors are caused by airflow restriction or dirty coils, not component failure. Always clean and test before replacing expensive parts.
