Troubleshooting
Common Symptoms and
Corrective Actions
AFE does not Start from Start or Run Inputs wired to the terminal block.
Instability in the AC Line Input Current and DC Bus Voltage.
Cause(s)
Indication
Corrective Action
AFE is faulted
Flashing red status light
Clear fault.
• Press the HIM
(Stop) key.
• Cycle power to the AFE.
• Set parameter 121 [Fault Clear] to
‘1’ (Clear Faults); see
• ‘Clear Faults’ by using the HIM
Diagnostic menu.
Incorrect input wiring; see
or
for wiring examples.
NOTE: Jumper between terminals 17, 18,
and 20 is required when using the 24V DC
internal supply.
None
Wire inputs correctly and/or install
jumper.
Incorrect digital input programming.
None
Program [Digital Inx Sel] for correct
inputs (see
).
Run programming may be missing.
There is some other start inhibit.
Check status bits of parameter
100 [Start Inhibits].
Correct the source of the inhibit.
Cause(s)
Indication
Corrective Action
AC line voltage more than 5% above
normal.
Instability in AC line current
and DC bus voltage.
May trip on fault F7 ‘Overload’.
Increase parameter 060 [DC Volt Ref]
proportional to the percentage of the
AC line voltage above nominal.
Negative reactive I Ref on parameter 065
[Reactive I Ref] with a soft (high
impedance) AC line.
Instability in AC line current
and DC bus voltage.
May trip an F7 overload.
Change parameter 065 [Reactive I Ref]
value to zero. Verify if the AFE is
running on a soft line per AC line source
considerations.
