Problem 

Possible cause 

Approach

sary rectify 

display "U<>LIMIT" 

measurement voltage out of 
range

measurement 

check correct connection of measurement voltage, if 
necessary rectify 

check settings in menu "SETUP / MEASUREMENT", if 
necessary rectify 

display "I<LIMIT" 

measurement current too small  check connection of CT, probably there is a break in the 

line 

CT ratio too high, if necessary replace CT 

remove short circuit link of the CT 

wrong display of cur-
rent or voltage 

wrong transformer ratio 
 
 

setting of Q offset 

check settings PT- or CT-ratio in menu "SETUP / 
MEASUREMENT", if necessary rectify 
 

correct setting of Q offset 

wrong power factor is 
displayed 

wrong settings at the regulator 
 
 
 
 

setting of Q offset 

check settings "NOMINAL VOLTAGE" and 
"CONNECTION" in menu "SETUP" and setting "PHASE 
COMPENSATION" in menu "EXTENDED", if necessary 
rectify 
 

correct setting of Q offset 

power factor doesn't 
change after switching 
on a step, step is 
switched off again 

CT mounted in wrong position 

 

check mounting position referring circuit diagram (cur-
rent of load and capacitors have to be measured!), if 
necessary rectify 

alarm "overcurrent" 

current higher than allowed 

check CT ratio, probably replace by suitable transformer 
type 

alarm "control" 

permanent overcompensation 

 

permanent undercompensation 

check settings 

check contactors, probably contact stick together 

check settings 

check capacitors, possibly fuse defective 

check dimensioning of the compensation unit 

reversed control mode  current or voltage clamps inter-

changed 

correct connection or adapt phase compensation 

single steps are not 
switched on or off 

wrong settings 

check, if referring steps are defined as fix steps (perma-
nently on or off) 

steps are detected as 
defective 

step defective 

check capacitor steps, probably fuse, capacitor or con-
tactor defective 

steps are not switched 
on 

step size  too large  

necessary reactive power smaller than switching thresh-
old of step size of the smallest step
