AUI

without faults

five trial runs are made

- Controller cannot determine the C.T. location easily owing

to the quick load changes

SLEEP

AUI

and

AU2

have appeared five

times in succession. This

condition is changed only upon

fundamental change of load

none

- automatic initialization is not possible due to the actual

load condition. Upon change of the line conditions, the
Controller tries again an initialization. It is recommended
to change to

AU3

≡

feeding back

of energy

the display appears when

capacitor steps shall be

switched out in case of feeding

back of energy

capacitor steps are switched

out after a certain delay, if

the function is activated

No fault function!

≡

IEF

current rms

value

the relation between rms value

and fundamental frequency

value of the current has

exceeded a specified limit

capacitor steps will be

switched out one by one after

five minutes, if the function

is activated

- due to harmonic currents, the rms current may clearly

differ from the fundamental frequency current. The
increased harmonic current may lead to overloading of the
capacitors. Dangerous resonance conditions can be

temporarily

avoided by switching out capacitor steps.

However, the harmonic current situation will have to be
examined.

≡

HAR

harmonic

current

a specified percentage of a

harmonic has been exceeded

none

- dangerous resonance conditions can be

temporarily

avoided by switching out capacitor steps.

However, the

harmonic current situation will have to be examined.

≡

PAR

parameter

control

by the first start-up procedure,

the parameters

-4-

and

-5-

must

be verified.

after a delay of 2 seconds,

the controller will

automatically change to the

setting menu of the

parameter concerned.

No fault function!
