9 TROUBLESHOOTING 

T

roubleshooting 

General

Problem

Possible cause

Remedy

No current is sent 
out from INGVAR

Check miniature circuit 
breaker F1.
Overheating may have trig-
gered the thermal protection.

The thermal protection resets itself automatically after  INGVAR cools 
down.

Interupted circuit

Check the connections to the object being tested. If a breaker is being 
tested, check to see that it is closed.
Check the connection between Control Unit and Current Unit.

Not possible to 
switch on INGVAR. 
The display is dark

The fuse F2 / F3 has blown

Check the fuses.

No mains

Check that the mains cable is plugged in properly and that mains volt-
age is present.

Generation stops 
immediately or after 
half a cycle

Stop condition is set to INT 
and F1 is off

Close F1

Stop condition is set to INT 
and the output circuit is open.

Change stop condition or

 

close output circuit.

Stop condition is set to INT and the output current is just a few per-
centage of  the measurement range of ammeter 1, see 11.8.
Increase the current, decrease INT-level or use range or output with 
lower current rating. 

Note

: Connecting Current Unit in series will decrease the measure-

ment ranges.

Generation does 
not stop when the 
breaker opens

Zero offset need to be 
calibrated, see section 10.2 
”Calibration of offset”

Unexpected value 
on Ammeter 1

INGVAR is set for DC-Meas-
urement while AC is gener-
ated or vice versa. (Fault will 
be approx. 10%)

 Select proper setting for DC-Measurement (submenu system)

The test object has higher 
impedance than expected

Increase the voltage applied from INGVAR by connected the Current 
Unit in series.

Measurement errors

Problem

Possible cause

Remedy

No reading on voltmeter 
and ammeter 2

The instrument is not activated

Activate the instrument in the 
"V/A-METER" menu option if its 
indicator lamp is not lit.

Time ”

0.000s

” is displayed 

but generation continues

The stop condition is met but 

AUTO

 is not activated

Press 

RESET

 if you want the gen-

eration time displayed

” 

——- A or ——-V

” is 

displayed

The measurement time was too short, the HOLD func-
tion cannot present any frozen readings or there was not 
enough time for a range to be selected automatically.

Increase the measurement time 
or select a fixed range

——- OFA or OFV

" is 

displayed

The magnitudes of the input signals are too great for the 
fixed preset range or the "AUTO" range does not have 
time to function properly for high-speed cycles. (”OF” = 
Overflow)

Carry out a new measurement or 
select a fixed range

AMP2=0A AMP1=0A

”is 

displayed

Because the measurement current is 0, no ratio can be 
calculated.
