LS Electric iE5 Drive

Fault Code and MeaningCause and Remedy
OCt

Overcurrent

Cause:

  • Accel/Decel time is too short compared to the inertia of the load (GD²).

  • Load is greater than the inverter rating.

  • Inverter output is issued when the motor is free running.

  • Output short circuit or ground fault has occurred.

  • Mechanical brake of the motor is operating too fast.




Remedy:

  • Increase the Accel/Decel time.

  • Replace the inverter with appropriate capacity.

  • Resume operation after stopping the motor or use P36 (Speed search).

  • Check output wiring.

  • Check the mechanical brake.


GFt / GCt

Ground fault current

Cause:

  • Ground fault has occurred at the output wiring of the inverter.

  • The insulation of the motor is damaged due to heat.




Remedy:

  • Check the wiring of the output terminal.

  • Replace the motor.


IOL / OLt

Inverter overload / Overload trip

Cause:

  • Load is greater than the inverter rating.

  • Torque boost scale is set too large.




Remedy:

  • Upgrade the capacity of motor and inverter or reduce the load weight.

  • Reduce torque boost scale.


OHt

Inverter overheat

Cause:

  • Cooling system has faults.

  • Ambient temperature is too high.




Remedy:

  • Check for alien substances clogged in the heat sink.

  • Keep ambient temperature under 40°C.


COL

Condenser overload

Cause:

  • 3-Phase product may have one phase lost.

  • Internal condenser was outworn.




Remedy:

  • Check whether wiring of input power or inter-phase voltage is abnormal.

  • It’s almost time to replace or it may happen when it is used in hot temperature for a long while. Contact after-sales service.


POt

Output Phase loss

Cause:

  • Faulty contact of magnetic switch at output.

  • Faulty output wiring.




Remedy:

  • Make connection of magnetic switch at output of the inverter securely.

  • Check output wiring.


OUt

Over voltage

Cause:

  • Decel time is too short compared to the inertia of the load (GD²).

  • Regenerative load is at the inverter output.

  • Line voltage is too high.




Remedy:

  • Increase the Decel time.

  • Check whether line voltage exceeds its rating.


LUt

Low voltage

Cause:

  • Line voltage is low.

  • Load larger than line capacity is connected to line (ex: welding machine, motor’s direct input).

  • Faulty magnetic switch at the input side of the inverter.




Remedy:

  • Check whether line voltage is below its rating.

  • Check the incoming AC line. Adjust the line capacity corresponding to the load.

  • Change a magnetic switch.


EtA / EtB

External fault A / B contact input

Cause:

  • The multi function terminals (P66 ~ P70) set to “18 (External fault-A)” or “19 (External trip signal input : fault-B)” in P66~P70 in PG Group is ON.




Remedy:

  • Eliminate the cause of fault at circuit connected to external fault terminal or cause of external fault input.


_ _ _ L

Lost Command

Cause:

  • No frequency command is applied to AI terminal.

  • Communication command is cut off.




Remedy:

  • Check the wiring of AI and frequency reference level.

  • In case of a program set to periodically update frequency, check the communication line or operation of master device.


EEP / HUt

Parameter save error / Hardware fault

Cause:

  • Hardware fault or First power-on after software upgrade.




Remedy:

  • Contact your local LSIS sales representative.

  • EEP message occurs when first allowing power after upgrading software due to A/S service. At the moment, turn it off and retry.
