- Troubleshooting Guide
| Fault Phenomenon | الأسباب المحتملة | الحلول |
| Motor fails to start | No 24V DC power supply in the control circuit; stop button not closed; phase loss | Check power supply, buttons and wiring; measure three-phase voltage |
| Trips immediately after startup | Excessively low current setting value; motor locked-rotor; short circuit fault | Increase the current setting; check motor load; locate short circuit points |
| Overload trip during operation | Motor overload; excessively high ambient temperature; poor heat dissipation | Reduce load; improve ventilation; clean heat sinks |
| Phase loss protection activated | Three-phase power supply imbalance; loose wiring; blown fuse | Check power supply; tighten wiring; replace fuse |
| Ground fault trip | Damaged motor insulation; broken cable; excessively high ground resistance | Check motor insulation; replace cable; measure ground resistance |
سابعا. Product Selection and Replacement
- اختيار النقاط الرئيسية: Select according to the motor’s rated current (8-32أ), control voltage (24V DC) and protection requirements (standard type).
- Replacement Suggestions: Can directly replace the corresponding models of Schneider’s old TeSys L series (على سبيل المثال, LUB32+LUA32), with compatible mounting dimensions.
- Upgrade Solution: For advanced diagnostic functions, it can be replaced with LUCD32BL (advanced control unit), which adds fault recording, parameter setting and other functions.
As a standard control unit of Schneider’s TeSys U series, the LUCA32BL is an ideal choice for the control of small and medium-sized three-phase motors due to its modular design, comprehensive protection functions and convenient installation method. Combined with the LUB power base, it can provide a current protection range from 8A to 32A, compatible with three-phase motors below 15kW, and meet the basic control and protection needs in the field of industrial automation.
