7.2 Possible causes and remedial measures
Type of error
Possible cause
Adjustment
Fan does not run
(anymore)
No line voltage
Line failure
Check linevoltage
Earth fault
Check motor connection and line voltage
Short circuit winding
Replacing the motor / fan
thermal motor protection
has triggered (motor is
overheated)
Check for free air passages; remove foreign bodies if
necessary
see "Impeller blocked or dirty"
Check temperature of supply air
Check voltage
only for 1 ~ motors: check capacitor
Impeller blocked or dirty
- Switch off power to the motor and secure against
switching back on
- Check safe isolation from supply
- Remove safety grille
- Remove foreign bodies or soiling
- Remount the safety grille
- Further procedure as in the chapter
“
Start-up
”
Fan will not start
only for 1 ~ motors: wrong
capacitor (capacity)
Select capacity according to the rating plate
Temperature too low for
bearing grease
Insert bearing with cold greasing
see "Fan does not run"
Fan turns too slowly Line failure
Undervoltage
Check line voltage
Incorrect circuit in the case
of a two-speed motor
In the case of Y/D switch-
over: Y instead of D
In the case of Y/YY switch-
over: Y instead of YY
Connect to suit voltage according to rating plate
Only in 1~ motors: Capaci-
tor worn
replace capacitor
Fan turns in wrong direction --> See this fault type
Impeller / blade scrapes /
brushes
When indicated, clear foreign bodies/dirt from the fan
see "Impeller blocked or dirty"
Fan turns in wrong
direction
Only in 3 ~ motors: Wrong
connection (phase se-
quence)
Switch two mains phases
only for 1 ~ motors: capaci-
tor wrong connected
Connect according to circuit diagram
Air
fl
ow to low
Fan turns too slowly or in
wrong direction
--> See this fault type
