Possible Causes
Blown fuse on one phase feeding Calpeda control panel, Loose terminal connection in Calpeda terminal block, Faulty contactor in Calpeda control box, Supply phase failure from main distribution board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Only qualified persons should open electrical panels. Isolate power at the main breaker before removing covers.
- Verify three-phase supply: With a multimeter, measure voltage between all three phases (L1-L2, L2-L3, L1-L3) at the Calpeda control box input. All readings should be within 5% of the rated voltage and similar to each other.
- Check fuses and breakers: Inspect individual phase fuses or miniature circuit breakers feeding the pump. Replace any blown fuses with the correct rating specified by Calpeda.
- Inspect terminal tightness: With power off, tighten all screw terminals on the incoming supply and motor output terminals in the Calpeda terminal block. Loose connections can cause phase loss and overheating.
- Check contactor: Inspect the contactor for burned contacts or a stuck pole. If one pole is not closing, replace the contactor with an equivalent Calpeda-approved model.
- Reset controller: After correcting the supply issue, reset the controller according to the Calpeda manual (usually by pressing STOP/RESET for several seconds) and attempt a restart.
If phase loss persists, consult an electrician to investigate upstream supply issues.
