Wiring Testing

Objective:
The following testing will be performed on the system to check for operation of different components including
cables, yaw shaft control box, dogvane and anemometer to be able to troubleshoot the “commerr” fault displayed
on the inverter.

Cross‐section 2 Expected Result in Normal Operation Mode

PIN to Pin Testing Terminated Mode Non‐Terminated Mode
1—2 Approx 100k Ω, 240VDC infinite
1—3 infinite infinite
2—3 infinite infinite
2—4 infinite infinite
3—4 700 Ω, DC 0.7V infinite

If “ commerr” seen on LCD Display measure 1‐2 PIN to PIN TEST for DC240V. If no DC240v, the replace fuse. If there is DC
240V, then the problem with the control box on yaw shaft, please change a new yaw shaft control system.
