The Copeland ZP54K5E-TF5-830 is a high-efficiency 54,000 BTU scroll compressor specifically engineered for residential and light commercial R-410A air conditioning systems. As a 5th-generation fixed-speed unit, it features a three-phase motor designed for 208/230-volt operation at 60Hz. This hermetic compressor utilizes Polyol Ester (POE) oil to manage high-pressure HFC refrigerants and includes internal inherent protection to guard against thermal overloads and motor failure. With a 7/8-inch ODF suction line and a 1/2-inch ODF discharge connection, it facilitates a standard stub-tube installation for field replacements. Technicians frequently utilize this model for its 10.7 EER rating and proven reliability in high-temperature applications. It serves as a direct replacement scroll compressor for various legacy units, including many ZP54K3E and ZPS51K5E configurations, making it a staple for contractors maintaining 4.5-ton split systems and rooftop units.
Key Benefits
- Optimized for R-410A: Designed to handle the higher operating pressures of HFC refrigerants with 42 oz of initial POE oil charge.
- High Phase Stability: The 3-phase compressor motor (200-230V) provides superior starting torque and efficient power consumption with a 110 LRA rating.
- Internal Protection: Features an internal pressure relief valve and thermal motor protection to ensure long-term operational integrity.
- Simplified Retrofitting: Standardized 7.5" x 7.5" mounting footprint and common ODF connections allow for streamlined swap-outs in existing HVAC equipment.
- Quiet Operation: Advanced scroll technology minimizes vibration and sound power levels, reaching an average of 71 dBA during standard load.
Common Questions
Is a start capacitor required for this 3-phase model?
No, three-phase compressors like the Copeland ZP54K5E-TF5-830 do not require a run or start capacitor, as the phase displacement provides the necessary starting torque.
Can I use this compressor in a heat pump system?
Yes, this ZP series model is rated for both high-temperature air conditioning and heat pump applications, provided the system uses R-410A and matches the 4.5-ton capacity.
What oil should be used if a recharge is needed?
This unit is shipped with Polyol Ester (POE) oil. Only use approved POE oil for top-offs or recharges to ensure compatibility with the R-410A refrigerant and internal seals.
