Trouble, Symptom,
Condition.
Probable Cause.
Test, Check, and/or Remedy.
Protective Circuit
NOTE:
Protective monitoring is not completely functional until the load contactor is CLOSED. Since it is not
advisable to vary voltages for test purposes while delivering power to an aircraft, the GPU should be
connected to a load bank for trouble shooting protective circuits. To avoid repetition, it will be assumed that
“
TEST/RESET
” push-button switch has been pressed and the load contactor has been closed before
commencing each test.
1.
Load contactor opens
during power delivery.
Over voltage fault
indicated.
a.
Over-voltage condition
may have been result
of a sudden drop in
load, or possible
tampering with REG
potentiometer, and
may have been a
normal action.
Press “
TEST/RESET
” push-button switch and
resume power delivery. Observe voltmeter to be
certain voltage is normal 115 VAC. Adjust to
normal if necessary. If load contactor is opened
again and the fault code meter indicates an over-
voltage condition, proceed to step
b
.
b.
Defective CTL board.
Use REG potentiometer to reduce voltage to 110
VAC. Observe voltmeter and gradually increase
voltage with potentiometer. If sensing circuit CTL
board functions to open load contactor at any value
less than 125 VAC, it is defective. Replace CTL
board.
2.
Load contactor opens
during power delivery.
Under voltage fault
indicated.
a.
Under-voltage
condition may have
been result of a sudden
shock load, or possible
tampering with REG
potentiometer, and
may have been a
normal action.
Press “
TEST/RESET
” push-button switch and
resume power delivery. Observe voltmeter to be
certain voltage is normal 115 VAC. Adjust to
normal if necessary. If load contactor is opened
again and the fault code meter indicates an under-
voltage condition, proceed to step
b
.
b.
Defective CTL board.
Use REG potentiometer to reduce voltage to 100
VAC. Observe voltmeter and gradually decrease
voltage with potentiometer. If sensing circuit CTL
board functions to open load contactor at any value
great than 100VAC, it is defective. Replace CTL
board.
