7.3.3  Overload Light is On 
Unit is overloaded  Remove overload or check CL setting 
Unit is switched to high voltage range.  Select correct voltage range. 
7.3.4  Distorted Output 
Power source is grossly overloaded.  Reduce load 
The crest factor of the load exceeds 3:1 on the low range or 
5:1 on the high range. 
Reduce load current peaks by reducing load. 
7.3.5  Unit Shuts Down after 1-2 Seconds 
Output shorted  Remove output short 
Output grossly overloaded.  Remove ove rloa d. 
PFC IGBT module failure  Have power module serviced 
Operating load with too high inrush or start up currents.  Consult factory for application advice. 
7.3.6  No Output and No Lights on Front Panel 
Input circuit breaker switched off.  Switch the breaker on. 
No input power to F1, F2 and F3.  Ensure 3 phase power is getting to input fuses.
