HEIDENHAIN 238-101A - 101A UVR synchronization with line power supply failed
HEIDENHAIN alarm 238-101A indicates the UVR%2 (undervoltage relay) supply unit failed to synchronize with the AC line power supply. This typically occurs due to power quality issues, faulty supply unit components, or incorrect power configuration parameters in the TNC control.
HEIDENHAIN 238-101A - 101A UVR synchronization with line power supply failed
101A UVR synchronization with line power supply failed
The UVR power supply unit failed to synchronize with the line power. The unit cannot match the supply network phase.
Root Cause Summary
HEIDENHAIN alarm 238-101A indicates the UVR%2 (undervoltage relay) supply unit failed to synchronize with the AC line power supply. This typically occurs due to power quality issues, faulty supply unit components, or incorrect power configuration parameters in the TNC control.
Safety
Causes and Fixes
Check AC Input Voltage
Measure AC input voltage at supply unit terminals. Verify voltage is within ±10% of rated value (typically 400V/480V 3-phase).
Use proper PPE and lockout procedures when measuring high voltage
Verify Phase Balance
Check all three phases for balance. Phase-to-phase voltages should be within 2% of each other.
Use a power quality analyzer to check for harmonics and transients
Monitor Line Frequency
Verify AC line frequency is stable at 50Hz or 60Hz ±0.5Hz. Check for frequency variations during alarm occurrence.
Frequency instability often indicates upstream power grid issues
Check Power Factor
Measure power factor at main supply. Poor power factor can affect synchronization timing circuits.
Install power factor correction if PF is below 0.85
