5 Trouble shooting
Problem
Possible cause
Remedy
no display
auxiliary voltage missing
check correct connection of auxiliary voltage, if nec-
essary rectify
display "U<>LIMIT"
measurement voltage out of
range
wrong settings for voltage
measurement
check correct connection of measurement voltage, if
necessary rectify
check settings in menu "SETUP / MEASUREMENT",
if necessary rectify
display "I<LIMIT"
measurement current too
small
check connection of CT, probably there is a break in
the line
CT ratio too high, if necessary replace CT
remove short circuit link of the CT
wrong display of cur-
rent or voltage
wrong transformer ratio
setting of Q offset
check settings PT- or CT-ratio in menu "SETUP /
MEASUREMENT", if necessary rectify
correct setting of Q offset
wrong power factor is
displayed
wrong settings at the regulator
setting of Q offset
check settings "NOMINAL VOLTAGE" and
"CONNECTION" in menu "SETUP" and setting
"PHASE COMPENSATION" in menu "EXTENDED",
if necessary rectify
correct setting of Q offset
power factor doesn't
change after switch-
ing on a step, step is
switched off again
CT mounted in wrong position
check mounting position referring circuit diagram
(current of load and capacitors have to be meas-
ured!), if necessary rectify
alarm "overcurrent"
current higher than allowed
check CT ratio, probably replace by suitable trans-
former type
alarm "control"
permanent overcompensation
permanent undercompensa-
tion
check settings
check contactors, probably contact stick together
check settings
check capacitors, possibly fuse defective
check dimensioning of the compensation unit
reversed control
mode
current or voltage clamps
interchanged
correct connection or adapt phase compensation
single steps are not
switched on or off
wrong settings
check, if referring steps are defined as fix steps
(permanently on or off)
steps are detected as
defective
step defective
check capacitor steps, probably fuse, capacitor or
contactor defective
steps are not
switched on
step size too large
necessary reactive power smaller than switching
threshold of step size of the smallest step
regulator still doesn't
work proper
