    WARNING 8. TROUBLESHOOTING High voltage is used in the operation of WARNING this filter. Use Extreme caution to avoid contact with high voltage when When properly installed, this equipment operating, installing or repairing this has been designed to provide maximum filter.
  • Page 35 TROUBLESHOOTING - continued Line voltage is not present at the filter output terminals. PROBLEM: Possible cause: Power to the filter is turned off. Solution: Turn power on. Possible cause: One or more external line fuses are blown. Solution: Verify the continuity of line fuses in all phases. Replace as necessary.
  • Page 36 TROUBLESHOOTING - continued Harmonic current distortion exceeds 8% on one or more PROBLEM: phases. Possible cause: The output reactor required for an 8% filter was not installed. (See Figure 14.) Solution: Install the required output reactor. Possible cause: One or more capacitor fuses have blown. Solution: Verify the continuity of capacitor fuses in all three phases.
  • Page 37 TROUBLESHOOTING – continued PROBLEM: Filter output voltage is not within specification Possible cause: Filter input voltage is not within specification. Solution: Check the AC input line voltage and verify that it is within tolerance. Refer to the filter service conditions and performance specifications in Chapter 3 for tolerances.
