Fault message
- Real time clock
problem
- Watchdog fault
- Internal µC fault
- Corrupted DSP code
- Corrupted µC code
Different firmwares
Remark:
If the problem persists, contact your ABB service provider. Provide him with all the
relevant information, i.e. Filter serial number and type, status of the control LEDs, Error
messages displayed and filter behavior.
Table 66: Other filter indications and behavior with corresponding troubleshooting tips
Symptom
The filter is working at
100% of its nominal
capacity because the
load requirement is
asking this.
The filter is working at
100% of its nominal
capacity while the
load is only at a
fraction of the filter
rating.
Cause
Internal system error
Different units in a filter
system have different
firmware version (DSP or
microcontroller)
Cause / State
The harmonic stress on
the network is still too
high.
The harmonic stress on
the network is sufficiently
low.
There is a problem in the
CT connections or a
hardware problem.
There is a software
problem.
The filter has been asked
to generate static
reactive power.

What to do
Reset the filter by switching off
and on the power. If the problem
persists, contact your ABB
representative. The controller card
must probably be replaced.
Upgrade all the units with the
same (most recent) firmware.
What to do
Install additional filter units to reduce
the stress further.
The filter can be kept running in this
condition.
- Check the CT installation (CT
location, CT shorts, ...)
- Check the connection between the
CT terminal block X21 and the main
controller terminals P5-1...P5-6.
- Measure the line currents (e.g.
ammeter) and compare them with
the line currents given by the filter
(PQF-Manager or PQ-Link).
- Stop the filter, switch off the
power of the auxiliaries and switch
it on again. Restart the filter and
see if the problem is solved.
- If the problem persists, contact
your ABB service provider.
Verify the reactive power settings of
the filter.
