Some of us here may work for Emerson but since CR4 is NOT AN AUTHORIZED EMERSON SUPPORT OFFICE any advice you implement here is your responsibility and responsibility alone.

Now, let me first restate what appears to be your problem in less ambiguous terms. You have a 20 Kilo-Volt-Ampere Un-interruptible Power Supply inverter that is self diagnosing itself that there is a short circuit somewhere in the inverter operation. You do not have any idea where this unit is reporting a short circuit. You do not know if the inverter input, output, internal circuitry, battery supply or bypass part of this circuitry is where a short circuit apparently exists. So you came to us for help on how to troubleshoot your problem.

Well there's a very good reason that the inverter manual has a very short troubleshooting guide along with a cryptic squiggly diagram to help people solve an inverter failure. People who cannot read a schematic nor identify a short circuit with the use of a simple Volt Ohm Meter should not be working on a chassis that generates lethal voltages. Call an electrician. It looks like you are not qualified to work on this inverter.

i have trouble shouted twice. at first time i concluded that the problem is with micron board changed (it gives Firing pulse to IGBT) the board and second time at the out put of inverter IGBT i found one of the capacitor is week and I replaced it for 3 months its working is good and from last week i am facing this problem. manual they have provided does not contain any technical data regarding UPS. i have contacted service persons but the did not give proper solution.
