What does AHU-X03 mean?

The fan is drawing more (or less) power than the affinity laws predict for its current speed.

Why does it matter?

Higher-than-curve power means belt slip, bearing failure, impeller fouling, or excessive duct restriction. Lower-than-curve usually means a sensor calibration issue.

What should you do?

Inspect belt tension and bearings. Look for restricted return-air paths or filters at end-of-life. Verify fan VFD calibration.
