2814
UnclassifiedGeneral
What This Code Means
Generator set dumps its electrical load; Generator set KW output exceeds the Overload Threshold for the Overload Set Time; Output frequency of the generator set drops below the Under-frequency Offset for the Under-frequency Set Time
Possible Causes
- •Another active fault is set to Derate
- •Generator set KW output exceeds Overload Threshold for Overload Set Time
- •Generator set output frequency drops below Under-frequency Offset for Under-frequency Set Time
- •Incorrect CT Ratio Setup Or Feature Code
- •Incorrect CTs or CT Connections
- •Incorrect CTs or CT connections
- •Incorrect Voltage Or kW Rating Setup
- •Overload Set Time or Under-frequency Set Time is set too low
- •The CTs Are Incorrectly Sized
- •Under-frequency Offset is set too low
Suggested Actions
- 1Change the CTs to the correct size.
- 2Check the CTs, CT Connections, and CT ratio
- 3Check the CTs, CT connections, and CT ratio
- 4Enter the correct CT ratio via InPower or through the operator panel by navigating to Setup > OEM Setup > OEM Alt Setup > Genset CT Ratio and set the 'Genset CT Ratio primary' and 'Genset CT Ratio secondary' parameters appropriately for the application.
- 5Go to Setup > Genset Setup on the operator panel and set the Overload Set Time and Under-frequency Set Time parameters appropriately for the application
- 6Go to Setup > Genset Setup on the operator panel and set the Under-frequency Offset parameter appropriately for the application
- 7Refer to the section on Current Transformer Installation or reference event/fault code 2814 and event/fault code 2815
- 8Troubleshoot other active fault(s) set to Derate
- 9Troubleshoot the other active fault(s) that are set to Derate
- 10Use the CT ratio calculator in InPower to determine the correct CT ratio for this generator set.
