What to do if I get a GROUND FAULT error on my Solcon TPS Power Supply?
If you encounter a GROUND FAULT error, check the load for a ground fault. If you are experiencing consecutive nuisance alarms, you can disable this protection.
What to do if my Solcon TPS Power Supply shows a WRONG CONNECTION TYPE error?
If you receive a WRONG CONNECTION TYPE error, check the actual connection type and compare it to the programmed connection type.
What to do for an INTERNAL FAILURE on a Solcon TPS Power Supply?
If there is an INTERNAL FAILURE, get the factory defaults and reprogram the TPS.
Why doesn't the output voltage/current go to zero on my Solcon Power Supply?
When the load is connected in WYE NEUTRAL NOT CONNECTED or in LINE DELTA (both connections are without a neutral point) and the TPS is in PHASE CONTROL, it is impossible to go to zero output. The minimum possible firing for such a case gives 10-20% of output voltage. Also, zero input in analog input causes the minimum possible voltage to appear in the output. Then, upon increasing the analog input voltage, output voltage/current is monotonically increased.
