Troubleshooting
Fixed and Withdrawable Devices
Problem |
Probable cause |
Solutions |
---|---|---|
Device cannot be closed locally or remotely. |
Device padlocked or keylocked in the open position. |
Disable the locking function. |
Device not completely connected. |
Terminate racking in (connection) of the device. |
|
MX opening release permanently supplied with power. |
There is an opening order. Determine the origin of the order. The order must be cancelled before the device can be closed. |
|
MN undervoltage release not supplied with power. |
There is an opening order. Determine the origin of the order. |
|
Check the voltage and the supply circuit (U > 0.85 Un). If the problem persists, replace the release. |
||
Permanent trip order in the presence of a MicroLogic P trip unit with minimum voltage and minimum frequency protection in Trip mode and the trip unit powered. |
Disable these protection functions on the MicroLogic P trip unit. |
|
Unexpected tripping. |
MN undervoltage release supply voltage too low. |
Check the voltage and the supply circuit (U > 0.85 Un). |
Load-shedding order sent to the MX opening release by another device. |
Check the overall load on the distribution system. |
|
If necessary, modify the settings of devices in the installation. |
||
Unnecessary opening order from the MX opening release. |
Determine the origin of the order. |
|
Device cannot be opened remotely, but can be opened locally. |
Opening order not executed by the MN undervoltage release. |
Drop in voltage insufficient or residual voltage (> 0.35 Un) across the terminals of the undervoltage release. If the problem persists, replace the MN release. |
Device cannot be opened locally. |
Operating mechanism malfunction or welded contacts. |
Contact a Schneider Electric service centre. |

---|---|---|
Impossible to insert the racking handle in connected, test, or disconnected position. |
A padlock or keylock is present on the chassis or a door interlock is present. |
Disable the locking function. |
Impossible to turn the racking handle. |
The reset button has not been pressed. |
Press the reset button. |
Device cannot be removed from chassis (optional). |
Device not in disconnected position. |
Turn the racking handle until the device is in disconnected position and the reset button is out. |
The rails are not completely out. |
Pull the rails all the way out. |
|
Device cannot be connected (racked in) (optional). |
Chassis/device mismatch protection. |
Check that the chassis corresponds with the device. |
The safety shutters are locked. |
Remove the lock(s). |
|
The disconnecting-contact clusters are incorrectly positioned. |
Reposition the clusters. |
|
Chassis locked in disconnected position. |
Disable the chassis locking function. |
|
The device has not been sufficiently inserted in the chassis. |
Insert the device completely so that it is engaged in the racking mechanism. |
|
Device cannot be locked in disconnected position (optional). |
The device is not in the right position. |
Check the device position by making sure the reset button is out. |
The racking handle is still in the chassis. |
Remove the racking handle and store it. |
|
Device cannot be locked in connected, test, or disconnected position. |
Check that locking in any position is enabled. |
Contact a Schneider Electric service centre. |
The device is not in the right position. |
Check the device position by making sure the reset button is out. |
|
The racking handle is still in the chassis. |
Remove the racking handle and store it. |
