What to do if the green LED (active) fails to light up on my ELTEX Power Supply and there's no high voltage?

  If the green LED (active) doesn't light up and there's no high voltage, it could be due to several reasons: * If the lamp in the mains power switch is lit, the transformer may be defective, in which case you should contact ELTEX Service. * If the lamp in the mains power switch doesn't light, the supply voltage may not be enabled or connected. Check the supply voltage and connections, as well as connected cables, cable connections, and bars. * A defective fuse could also be the cause. Try replacing the fuse.

  If there's no high voltage, check the following: * If the lamp in the mains power switch is lit, it could indicate a defective transformer. In this case, contact ELTEX Service. * If the lamp in the mains power switch fails to light, the supply voltage may not be enabled or connected. Ensure the supply voltage and connections are properly checked. Also, inspect the connected cables, cable connections, and bars. * A defective fuse can also cause this issue. Replace the fuse to see if it resolves the problem.

Why is the red LED (fault) lit on my ELTEX Power Supply?

  Arthur BlackwellAug 15, 2025
  The red LED (fault) lighting up on your ELTEX Power Supply can indicate several issues: * Dirty bars may be the cause. Clean the bars as described in the Maintenance section. * Sparking on cables and bars could also trigger the fault. Replace any defective cables and bars. * A defective plug connection might be the problem. Ensure the plug is properly inserted. * A significant source of EMC interference near the bar or power supply units can cause this. Try to locate and rectify the source of interference. If that's not possible, take measures to suppress the interference.
