blocking fault

[case 1] The driver of main contactor drive coil is shorted, or its coil is disconnected. If wiring and connection are correct, the problem is in the controller : Replace it. [case 2] The main contactor coil has been driven by the controller, but the contactor does not close. [case 4] Before driving the line contactor coil, the controller checks if the contactor is stuck. The controller drives the bridge for some tens milliseconds, trying to discharge the capacitors bank. If they don't discharge the fault condition is entered. [case 8] Supervisor status is "alarm" or "wait reset" and main contactor is not forced open. Key OFF/ON.
