FRAKO | Operating Manual | Power Quality Controller – PQC
Alarm
message
Fault
Possible cause
Remedial action
Connection
not detected
Stages not
detected
During automatic
calibration this message
appears:
Alarm detected
No cap. stage
Fault in control cir-
cuit (contactors not
switching).
Check the control circuit
against the connection
diagram and check the
fuse.
Fuses for the capaci-
tor stages missing or
defective
Check whether capaci-
tors are energized after
switching.
Current transformer
installed in the wrong
location
Check whether the
current transformer has
been installed as per the
connection diagram.
Severe reactive power
fluctuations
Wait for power supply to
stabilize; set c/k factor
and connection type
manually.
Despite inductive load,
no stages are switched
in when PQC is in auto-
matic mode.
When the PQC was pro-
grammed, c/k, switching
time delay or discharge
time have been set too
high.
Check the PQC pro-
gramming and change if
necessary.
In automatic operation,
the response current
c/k was not correctly
identified.
Check the control circuit
against the connection
diagram and repeat the
calibration procedure.
Another current meas-
uring instrument (e.g.
an ammeter) has been
connected in parallel with
the current path.
All measuring instru-
ments in the current
path must always be
connected in series.
In automatic mode, one
stage is continually being
switched in and out
(hunting).
The value of c/k was set
too low when the PQC
was programmed.
Set c/k value correctly
according to the table.
Severe load fluctuations;
the delay time was set
too low.
Set higher delay time.
