Fault message
Cause
What to do
Bad parameters
The filter parameters
entered by the
commissioning engineer
are not consistent with
the filter configuration
reported by the
controller.
Check the commissioning parameters
and correct where necessary.
(Cf.
Chapter 8
Bad message
sequence
Internal system error
Contact your ABB service provider. Most
likely the controller software has to be
upgraded or the main controller card
replaced.
Bad CT connection
The automatic CT
detection procedure has
encountered a problem
during the CT
identification process.
−
Check that the CTs are installed on
the supply side of the filter.
−
Check that the CTs are not shorted.
−
Check that the overall CT ratio
(including summing CTs) is smaller
than 20000/5.
−
Set up the CTs manually (Cf. Section
DC overvoltage (SW)
The DC software
overvoltage protection
has been triggered.
−
Check the connection between the
DC voltage measurement connector
(P6-5 and P6-7) and the DC
capacitors.
−
Check flat cable connections between
the Control Board and the IGBT
module.
−
Analyze network voltage stability
(amplitude and phase).
−
Disable reactive power compensation
and balancing options to see if the
problem persists.
−
Deselect the high frequency
components to free DC bus resources
and to see if the problem persists.
