Table 7-1: Malfuncons and causes
Problem Cause Soluon
Fan does not start No electrical connecon Check that the motor and/or command inverter is connected to the
electrical power supply line and is correctly powered
Motor malfuncon Check internal connecons and motor components and replace if
necessary
No connecon between
command inverter and motor
Check for correct connecon between inverter and motor
Command inverter malfuncon Check internal inverter circuits and components and replace if
necessary
Power absorpon much lower
than design value
Rotaon speed too low Increase rotaon speed
Openings or ducng parally
blocked
Eliminate obstrucon
Check the posion of regulaon organs
Impeller parally blocked Eliminate obstrucon
Resistance pressure of system
higher than design value
Check the resistance pressure value of the system
Fluid density lower than
intended value
Check the uid density value
Too high power absorpon Rotaon speed too high Reduce rotaon speed
Resistance pressure of system
lower than design value
Check the resistance pressure value of the system
Incorrect impeller rotaon
direcon
Check impeller rotaon direcon and orientaon
Pre-rotaon of air in opposite
direcon to fan rotaon
Check minimum installaon distances (paragraph 5.1.1) or correct
orientaon of intake with pre-distributors
Fluid density higher than
intended value
Check the uid density value
Power supply to motor with
voltage lower than shown on
idencaon plate
Check for correct voltage of power supply to motor
Defects in motor windings Check for correct motor operaon
Insucient pressure Rotaon speed too low Increase rotaon speed
Fluid density lower than
intended value
Check the uid density value
Air ow greater than intended
value
Check the resistance pressure value of the system
Pulsang operaon Instability of air ow Check operang eld envisaged by operang curve
Fluctuaons in ow due to other
fans operang in parallel
Check for correct installaon on system
Intake air turbulence created by
system near intake opening
Check minimum installaon distances.
