Alarms & troubleshooting

RECT_HVSD (Rectifier DC Overvoltage Shutdown)
Rectifier module Yellow LED blinking / Red Fault LED solid on; NCU Controller Critical Red LED solid on
Internal rectifier voltage regulation loop failure exceeding HVSD threshold (e.g., -59.5V), or external voltage surge triggering selective hardware shutdown
1. Identify the locked rectifier slot ID via the NCU screen. 2. Remove the faulty module, wait 5 minutes for bus capacitor discharge, and reseat to reset. 3. If HVSD recurs, verify DC bus voltage with a multimeter and replace the failed module.
AC_FAIL (AC Mains Failure / Phase Loss)
Rectifier Green Power LED off, Yellow LED solid on; NCU Controller Major Alarm Red LED solid on with buzzer
Commercial utility blackout, upstream AC distribution breaker trip, tripped AC surge protective device (SPD), or AC input contactor open
1. Measure line-to-line and line-to-neutral voltages at the AC distribution cabinet. 2. Inspect the main AC input breaker and SPD auxiliary contacts. 3. Confirm standby diesel generator (DG) auto-start and automatic transfer switch (ATS) operation.
LLVD_OPEN (Load Low Voltage Disconnect Active)
NCU Controller Critical Red LED flashing, LLVD disconnect indicator illuminated, buzzer sounds continuously
Extended AC outage leading to battery depletion below LLVD setpoint (typically -43.2V to -44.0V), triggering contactor trip to preserve critical loads
1. Confirm actual DC bus voltage; do not manually bypass the LLVD contactor unsafely. 2. Deploy emergency mobile generator to power the AC input. 3. Upon AC recovery, monitor rectifier ramp-up and confirm NCU auto-reconnects LLVD once bus voltage reaches reconnect threshold.
CAN_COMM_FAIL (CAN-Bus Communication Failure)
Affected rectifier module Yellow LED blinking slowly at 0.5Hz; NCU Controller Comm Loss Yellow LED on
Loose CAN communication ribbon/patch cable, oxidized RJ45 connector, missing 120-ohm termination resistor, or damaged module CAN transceiver IC
1. Check CAN communication cables between rectifier subracks and NCU controller ports for secure seating. 2. Verify that the 120-ohm bus termination DIP switch/jumper is enabled on the final subrack. 3. Reseat or swap the affected module to isolate a failed transceiver.
FAN_FAIL (Rectifier Fan Fault)
Faulty rectifier module Yellow LED flashing, output derated; NCU Controller Minor Alarm Yellow LED illuminated
Fan rotor blocked by foreign objects, heavy dust clogging bearings, tachometer speed feedback signal loss, or loose internal fan connector
1. Extract the affected rectifier module and inspect front air intake and rear vents for blockage. 2. Clean dust using compressed air and manually rotate fan blades to check for mechanical seizure. 3. Reinsert module; if the fan alarm persists after self-test, replace the fan assembly or the module.
