What This Code Means

Undervoltage (both zero crosses missing for 1.5 seconds); Undervoltage (little / no voltage, <120V); Undervoltage (no field current but have DPE); Generator Shuts Down for Under Voltage; Undervoltage; Prolonged Undervoltage; Generator voltage below 80% of nominal for 10+ seconds.; Both Zero Crosses missing Undervoltage; Controller measuring no voltage resulting in undervoltage; Generator voltage less than 120V when undervoltage set; No field current during undervoltage alarm; Generator running underspeed for > 30 seconds when under - voltage alarm set; Single Zero Cross missing Undervoltage; After resuming from a load shed event, still undervoltage because of overload condition.; Generator Xfer Enabled Output has been mis - wired.; Incorrect DC AC wiring hook up.
