Most common causes:

  • 24V control supply unstable (weak PSU or blown secondary fuse)

  • Pre-charge circuit fault (DC link not reaching threshold, so contactor drops)

  • Interlock chain open (E-stop, door, coolant flow, overtemp)

  • UPS/battery in gantry cabinet weak

  • Short or leakage on DC bus causing undervoltage trip
