Troubleshooting; Viii-A. General Maintenance; Viii-B. Load Bank Wired To Source, But Won't Turn On; Viii-C. Load Bank Overheating - Simplex SWIFT-E+ Manual

VIII-A. General Maintenance

All electrical connections should be tightened every 3 months. Cooling fan motors are
permanently lubricated and do not require maintenance.
Although Swift-E load banks are designed with trouble-free operation in mind, some problems
can arise. Please consult the following table for solutions to the most common issues before
contacting a Simplex service representative.

VIII-B. Load Bank Wired to Source, but Won't Turn On

•
Ensure load bank is wired to source correctly. See
information about wiring your load bank to the source.
•
Set Meter Range Selector Switch to correct value for source voltage. See
11 for more information about setting up an operation.
•
Remove faceplate and make sure breaker is turned on. See
information about resetting the circuit breaker.
•
Check control fuses on front of load bank to ensure they aren't blown. See
17 to see where the fuses are located.
•
Remove faceplate and check loose relays, contactors, lugged wires, etc. See
page 9 for more information about inspecting the load bank.

VIII-C. Load Bank Overheating

•
Clear intake and exhaust vents of any debris. See
about the load bank's airflow needs.
•
Move load bank away from generator or other source's exhaust and walls and
other obstructions that restrict air flow. See
the load bank's airflow needs.
•
Make sure ambient temperature isn't too high to allow for cool air flow. See
for more information about overheating failures.

VIII-D. Meter Displaying Unexpected Results

•
Ensure Current Transformer Ratio is set correctly (100:5 for Swift-E, 150:5 for
Swift-E+). See
Remove all power from the load bank and all dan/control power before servicing the
load bank. Never operate or service a load bank that is not grounded.
