TRACTION
STATUS CODE
DESCRIPTION OF STATUS CAUSE OF STATUS INDICATION
-66
The field current exceeds the current
limit of the field transistor.
This status code will be displayed when the field
transistor exceeds its specific current limit. The line
contactor will drop out and the key switch will have to
be recycled to restart the control.
