CrF

Load Relay Fault

Schneider Electric · Altivar Machine ATV320 Variable Speed Drive

What does CrF mean?

A fault detected in the load relay, often related to capacitor charging. This can prevent the drive from energizing its DC bus properly or switching the output, leading to a failure to start or maintain operation and potential damage to internal components.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Inspect the load relay for physical damage, wear, or evidence of sticking contacts.

  2. 2

    Verify the control wiring to the load relay coil for continuity and proper voltage.

  3. 3

    Check the DC bus capacitor bank for signs of damage, leakage, or bulging.

  4. 4

    Measure the resistance across the relay contacts when de-energized to ensure they are open.
