What causes TRIP fail signaling Trip Fail command (BF) in ABB Circuit breakers?
TRIP fail signaling Trip Fail command (BF) in ABB Circuit breakers can be caused by: * One or more of the following conditions: Trip coil not working, status contacts not working, faulty internal wiring. To solve this: 1. If closed, open CB in the manual mode and check changed status. 2. Press iTest, check that the signal has disappeared from the display and the general status of the alarms. 3. Check the conditions of the wiring and internal contacts. 4. Working in safety conditions, close the CB and perform a trip test via the trip unit. Contact ABB if problems persist.
How to fix communication problems with Ekip Com, Ekip Link, Ekip Signalling or Ekip CI in ABB SACE Emax 2?
If you're experiencing communication problems with Ekip Com, Ekip Link, Ekip Signalling, or Ekip CI in your ABB Circuit breakers, it might be due to the circuit-breaker being in the withdrawn position, Vaux being absent, or modules not inserted properly. To resolve this, insert the modules, set the circuit-breaker to the Connected position, and connect Vaux.
What causes ABB Circuit breakers not to open when the opening coil is powered?
The ABB circuit-breaker may not open when the opening coil is powered due to: * The operating mechanism being blocked. Contact ABB. * The power supply voltage of the auxiliary circuits being too low. Measure the voltage: it should not be lower than 85 % of the rated voltage of the coil. * The power supply voltage being different from that indicated on the rating plate. Use the correct voltage. * The cables of the coil not being inserted correctly in the terminals. Make sure there is continuity between cable and terminal and if necessary reconnect the cables of the coil to the terminals. * The connections of the power supply circuit being wrong. Check the connections using the relevant wiring diagram. * The opening coil being damaged. Replace the coil.
What does 'IEEE1588 synch' mean on ABB Circuit breakers?
This indicates a synchronization problem of the IEEE 1588 synchronization reference module.
What does 'Internal error' mean on ABB Circuit breakers?
Internal error; contact ABB if this type of error occurs
Why does my ABB SACE Emax 2 show a 'Local bus' error?
If you have 'Local Bus' alarm on your ABB Circuit Breakers, it could be due to several reasons. The unit might be on with auxiliary supply, the Local Bus parameter could be enabled without a connection to the modules, or the connection is incorrect, or communication has been lost for more than five seconds. To resolve this, check the connection and powering of modules in the terminal box or externally, and ensure that the connected modules are compatible with Ekip Touch.
How to fix invalid date on ABB SACE Emax 2?
If you receive an 'Invalid Date' error on your ABB Circuit Breakers, it means the date and time are incorrect. You can correct this by going to Settings-System-Date and Settings-System-Time to set the correct date and time.
How to troubleshoot ABB Circuit breakers when opening data not displayed?
If opening data is not displayed on your ABB Circuit breaker, it could be due to no auxiliary power supply and/ or battery low. Correct operating condition.
What causes ABB Circuit breakers not being able to lock in the open position?
If it is not possible to lock the ABB circuit-breaker in the open position: * The opening pushbutton is not being pressed. Press the opening pushbutton and activate the lock. * The lock in open position is defective. Contact ABB.
