FAULT MESSAGE GF Stuck Open. Run Auto/Manual Test
Can’t Power up: Electrical Control Problem
RESTRICTIONS
Nil
ALARM BELL
30 Seconds.
RESET LEVEL
Low, Manual
After manual reset if the fault still present, the fault will be generated
again.
FAULT
RECOVERY
Autometic when GF contactorfound closed.
PROBABLE
CAUSES
1. Defective GF contactor.
2. Wiring fault from MEP-660 to GF contactor coil.
3. Positive supply to GF contactor operating coil is missing.
FAULT
ISOLATION
1. Set the Display to ‘Manual Tests for Ouputs’ mode through Test
Mode Menu and satisfy the initial conditions required to run manual
test as prompted on the display unit.
2. Press 13 + ‘Enter Key’+1 to energise GF contactor.
3. If GF contactor energises, then
A. Check up for proper closing of main contact tips and Auxilary
contacts.
B. The status of GF Aux. Contact 1 can be checked through 0
number Green and Yellow LEDs on digital input card MDIP-16 in
slot 11.
C. The status of GF Aux. Contact 2 can be checked through 1
numbered Green and Yellow LEDs on Digital Input card MDIP-16
in slot No. 12.
D. All the 4 LEDs should glow.
4. Press ‘0’ key to deenegise the GF contactor.
A. All the 4 LEDs in both the digital input cards should be OFF.
B. If LEDs are not as per the sequence and remains always OFF,
then
a) Check voltage on wire No. 51 at the GF contactor auxiliary
contacts 1 and 2 with respect to wire No. 4
b) If the voltage is zero, then
1) Wiring loop of wire No. 51 is open circuited. Identify the
open circuit and ensure supply at the terminal 51 on Aux.
Contact of GF contactor is available.
c) If Voltage is greater than 65V, then
1) Check voltage at the wire terminals FCD and FCE on
Auxiliary contacts of GF contactor.
2) If Voltage is zero, then the Aux. Contacts of GF
contactors are bad. Check, clean and adjust the auxiliary
contacts. If necessary replace them.
3) If voltage is greater than 65V, then wiring between GF
contactor and MEP-660 is open circuited. Identy and
replace the cable.
C. If the GF contactor is not energizing as per the test sequence,
then
a) Connect Voltmeter across the operating coil of the GF
contactor and switch ON GF contactor by pressing 1 key.
b) If the Voltage is more than 65V, then
