| Remedy |
|
|
|
|
|
Current Unbalance |
| Current unbalance LED is illuminated if | 1. | Correct the cause of voltage or load unbalance. |
|
| current unbalance exceeds 40%, or it |
|
|
|
| flashes if current unbalance is between | 2. | Verify current transformer secondary voltage is |
|
| 20 and 40%. Current unbalance may |
| unbalanced at |
|
| be due to voltage or load unbalance. |
| reference to 4. |
Overload Trip |
| Indicates motor exceeded winding, | 1. | Verify that the full load current F4 and service factor |
|
| housing, or rotor temperature |
| F6 on the HHC matches the full load current and the |
|
| threshold. |
| service factor on the motor nameplate. |
|
|
| 2. | If the motor tripped during start, increment the |
|
|
|
| overload class one step and start again. If still |
|
|
|
| unsuccessful, the motor’s rotor may be locked or |
|
|
|
| stalled. Correct motor malfunction before restarting. |
|
|
| 3. | If the motor tripped after running for a period more |
|
|
|
| than the overload class selected, the trip may be due |
|
|
|
| to a running overload such as excessive loading on a |
|
|
|
| conveyor belt or bad bearings. Remove the cause of |
|
|
|
| the overload before restarting the motor. |
|
|
| 4. | F16 on HHC displays the most recent overload trip |
|
|
|
| current value. |
