•
Check +/- VDC power supply outputs.
•
Check control wire harness integrity (Refer to the system schematic in Section 7).
•
Check CT harness for damage.
•
Check CT h/-15VDC at CT.
•
Check CT output voltage (mV) with reference to ground.
•
Replace CT showing high output voltage offset.
(9) Current Imbalance Fault (0x10000)
The PV-45208 has determined that there is an excessive phase-to-phase current imbalance, while the
system is operating.
•
Observe individual phase currents during operation with the operator interface program and with a
true RMS oscilloscope. Verify waveforms are sinusoidal and maintain proper phase relationships.
•
Determine which phase is imbalanced.
•
Verify phase conductor wiring integrity (Refer to the system schematic in Section 7).
•
Check CT control wire harness integrity (Refer to the system schematic in Section 7).
•
Replace CT on the phase exhibiting the current imbalance.
Stop Switch Fault
The on/off switch, located on the upper enclosure, is disabled. The contact block on the back of the
switch must be open for the PV-45208 to report this message.
If the switch is in the on position and the LCD reads ‘Stop Switch’:
•
Isolate the PV-45208 from external power (Refer to Section 2).
•
Verify continuity across the switch contact block while the switch is turned to the on position.
•
Verify continuity between J9-1 and J9-2 while the switch is enabled.
