CPFP isolation lost
Trip
The CPFP isolation lost trip fault is hardware generated. The CPFP power
supply isolation card is indicating that power supply isolation to the phase
modules has been compromised. The CPFP card is designed to provide
control power to circuit cards in the high voltage compartment. This card has
a double voltage barrier that isolates the phases from each other and from the
control. This fault indicates that one of these voltage barriers has failed. This
is a dangerous situation since failure of the second barrier could cause
dangerous voltages to conduct into the control cabinet or cause a phase-
phase short on the CPFP card. The fault is generated when the status light
conducted via fiber from the CPFP goes out. The fiber connects CPFP (PWR
OK) to FOSA (SPARE-R). Check that the fiber is installed correctly.
Disconnect the fiber from FOSA and look for the status light traveling up the
fiber. If you do not see a light then the problem is on CPFP. If there is light
then the problem is on FOSA or BICM.

Illegal seq state
Trip
The Illegal seq state trip fault occurs when the sequencer state (variable
Sequencer state) is unrecognized. This trip may occur during system
Sequencer state) is unrecognized. This trip may occur during system
development but should not occur in the field.
