normally. Due to the distribution of voltage to the PAs, this will affect all of the
PAs associated with one of the PA Controllers. Therefore the effect is the same as
the loss of a PA Controller and the transmitter will have a maximum power out-
put of about 30% of nominal.
6.15.2.1 PS#_START, Soft Start Circuit Fault
This fault is tripped, and the power supply shut off, if the PA voltage does not reach a
minimum of 40 volts within 3 - 5 seconds of activating the soft start circuit. This
prevents the SCRs (other than the soft start SCRs) from attempting to charge a partially
(or perhaps completely) discharged capacitor which would overload the fuses. The most
likely cause would be an open soft start/Discharge resistor or failed SCRs and/or SCR
fuses in the soft start circuit.
6.15.2.2 PS#_HS_TEMP, Rectifier Heatsink Temperature
There is a thermistor, temperature sensor, mounted on each of the rectifier heat sinks
(on top of the transformer). This fault is triggered if the temperature of the rectifier
heatsink exceeds 100°C. If one of the thermistors or its wiring is shorted the
temperature indication will be about 155°C and will not change.
To monitor the heatsink temperature on the Diagnostics Display press [METERING, D,
A, B]. This screen gives the heatsink temperature of each power supply.
6.15.2.3 PS#_DSCHG, Discharge Circuit Fault
This fault will cause the individual supply to be shut off but will not effect the other
supplies. If during the operation of the supply the discharge circuit becomes active, due
to a malfunction, this fault is triggered preventing the supply from discharge and charge
at the same time. During normal operation the voltage at the soft start resistor (which is
also used for discharge) must be very close to 0 Volts. This voltage, called
DISCHARGE SAMPLE, is monitored by comparator U1 on the PS Controller board
and will trigger the fault if the voltage is not low enough. The most likely cause is a
failure of the discharge FETs on the Rectifier Board or an open discharge resistor.
6.15.2.4 PS#_PHS_LS, Phase Loss (100-120 Hz ripple)
When Phase Loss is detected the transmitter will mute for 20 seconds and then try to
restart. It will continue to do this until it is successful. For all 3 phase transmitters,
detection is based on the level of 100 to 120 Hz ripple at the output of a DSP band pass
filter (on the PS Controller) operating on the DC input voltage data. The DC voltage
samples are taken from the center taps of the WYE wound secondaries on each supply
(before the filtering). An excessive level of 100 or 120Hz (the predominant ripple
