Alarm
Description
Reset Type
IGBT 1 Over
Temperature
Indicates IGBT 1 is too hot (This alarm stops inverter
operation .)
Troubleshooting Tip: Check the vents at the back of the
PCS enclosure to ensure there are no air restrictions.
AUTO
IGBT 2 Over
Temperature
Indicates IGBT 2 is too hot (This alarm stops inverter
operation .)
Troubleshooting Tip: Check the vents at the back of the
PCS enclosure to ensure there are no air restrictions.
AUTO
IGBT 3 Over
Temperature
Indicates IGBT 3 is too hot (This alarm stops inverter
operation .)
Troubleshooting Tip: Check the vents at the back of the
PCS enclosure to ensure there are no air restrictions.
AUTO
Lost Synchronize
Indicates the inverter is not in sync with the utility
Troubleshooting Tip: If the utility voltage, frequency, and
phase rotation are good, contact S&C Electric Company
for support. If the voltage, frequency, or phase rotation is
bad, the inverter may not be able to lock to the utility until
the voltage and frequency are both within tolerance.
SELF
Over Frequency
Indicates the frequency at the inverter ac connection is above
the overfrequency threshold
Troubleshooting Tip: The inverter will respond based on
the Over Frequency settings. To change the sensitivity,
time delay on or the frequency threshold can be changed.
SELF
Over Voltage
Indicates the line-to-line voltage at any of the three phases at
the inverter ac connection is above the overvoltage threshold
Troubleshooting Tip: The inverter will respond based on
the voltage settings. To change the sensitivity, time delay
on or the voltage threshold can be changed.
SELF
Parameter Cal
Change Activate
Indicates a parameter has changed
Troubleshooting Tip: No troubleshooting action is
required.
SELF
PS3 LEM Power
Supply Under
Voltage
Indicates the power supply supporting the current sensors
are under voltage, resulting in possible malfunctioning of
controls
Troubleshooting Tip: The auto reset lockout can be reset.
If the problem persists, contact S&C Electric Company.
AUTO
SCADA Watchdog
Timeout
Indicates the PureWave SMS-250 system has lost
communication with SCADA and, therefore, has stopped
operation to avoid undesirable operation
Troubleshooting Tip: Contact a trained technician to
troubleshoot the communication problem.
SELF
Sensitive Earth
Fault
Indicates the PureWave SMS-250 system three phase current
does not sum to zero .
Troubleshooting Tip: The alarm can be reset to bring the
inverter back to an operating mode. If the fault continues
to occur, the ground fault must be discovered and
eliminated.
