Troubleshooting Fault Conditions
Symptom
Probable 
Cause 
Corrective Action
Motor failure.
Replace the motor.
Improper load 
impedance. 
Disconnect wiring from output terminals T1, 
T2, and T3. Check load impedance. 
Overcurrent 
when power 
turned on. 
Failed or bad 
power 
transistors. 
Check power transistors and replace, as 
required. 
If the problem persists, contact your 
MagneTek representative with this 
information. 
Electrical 
noise. 
Remove noise source by connecting a surge 
suppressor to relay and magnetic contactor 
coils and/or provide a line filter to remove 
noise on input power line. 
Faulty control 
card or gate 
drive PCB. 
Replace faulty card.
Overload or 
overheated 
motor. 
Load too large. Decrease the load if necessary.
If the problem persists or the load is within 
capacity, contact your MagneTek Engineer. 
Undervoltage
Improper AC 
supply voltage. 
Check input AC supply. Increase voltage to 
within the correct range, if necessary. 
Check wiring between main AC contactor 
and Smart Trac AC1. Correct as required for 
proper operation. 
Heatsink 
Overtemp 
Ambient 
temperature 
too high 
Check ambient temperature. If 45 degrees 
Centigrade (113 degrees Fahrenheit) or 
greater, reduce ambient temperature. 
Dirty heat 
sink, reducing 
its 
effectiveness. 
Inspect heat sink. If not clean, clean it.
Fan not 
operating. 
Check cooling fan. if included on your 
Smart Trac AC1. If not running, replace it. 
Erroneous 
fault indication 
due to noise. 
Remove noise source by connecting a surge 
suppressor to relay and magnetic contactor 
coils, or providing a line filter to remove 
noise on the input power line.
