Fault CodeCause & Solution
EF
External
fault
Cause: The external terminal EF-GND goes from OFF to ON.
– When external terminal EF-GND is closed, the output will be turned off (under N.O. E.F.).
‹
Soultion:

– Eliminate the fault source and then press the RESET button
– Give RESET command after fault has been cleared.
bb
External
Base
Block
Cause: External Base Block. (Refer to Pr. 8-06)
– This fault comes when drive received this command.

Soultion:

1. When the external input terminal (B.B) is active, the AC motor drive output will be turned off.
2. Deactivate the external input terminal (B.B) to operate the AC motor drive again.
oc
Overcurrent
Cause: Output current of the AC drive exceeds the OC level
‹
Soultion:

– Extend the accel/decel time
– Check whether the motor rating and the AC drive rating match up with each other
– Check whether there is short-circuit among U-V-W of the AC drive
– Check whether the wiring to the motor is short-circuited or grounded
– Check whether the screw between the AC drive and the motor is tightened or not
– Check whether the motor is over loaded
ov/ou
overvoltage
Cause: DC voltage of the main circuit exceeds the over-voltage detection level
– The DC bus voltage has exceeded its maximum allowable value.
Soultion:

– Check whether the input voltage is within the scope of the rated input voltage of the AC drive, and monitor whether there is any occurrence of the voltage transients
– If it is of the motor inertia uprising voltage that caused the exceeding voltage on the DC high-voltage side within the AC drive, the solution is to extend the accel/decel time or install the braking resistor (optional)
oH
Overheating
Cause: Overheating- Heat sink temperature too high

Soultion:

1. Ensure that the ambient temperature falls within the specified temperature range.
2. Make sure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed.
3. Remove any foreign objects from the heatsinks and check for possible dirty heat sink fins.
4. Check the fan and clean it.
5. Provide enough spacing for adequate ventilation
Lu/Lv
Low
Voltage
Cause: DC high-voltage side is exceedingly low within the AC drive

Soultion:

– Check whether the input power voltage is normal
– Check whether the loading will be put on another unexpected heavy loading
– Whether the 3-phase model is of the single-phase power input or the phase-lacking
oL
overload
Cause: AC drive overload- Output current exceeds the AC drive-bearable current; e.g. could sustain for 60 seconds if the output is 150% of the AC drive rated current.
‹
Soultion:

– Decrease the loading and extend the acceleration time
– Check whether the motor is overloaded
– Reduce torque compensation setting as set in Pr.54.
– Increase the AC drive output capacity
oL1
Overload 1
Cause: Overload 1- Internal electronic overload trip

Soultion:

1. Check for possible motor overload.
2. Check electronic thermal overload setting.
3. Use a higher power motor.
4. Reduce the current level so that the drive output current does not exceed the value set by the Motor Rated Current Pr.7-00.
oL2
Motor
overload
Cause: OL2- motor overload Motor with exceedingly great loading
‹
Soultion:

– Check whether the loading of the motor is too great
– Check the parameter settings (Pr.60 to Pr.62)
ocA
Over-current
during
acceleration
Cause: Over-current during acceleration (Output current exceeds triple rated current during acceleration.).

Soultion:

1. Short-circuit at motor output: Check for possible poor insulation at the output lines.
2. Acceleration Time too short: Increase the Acceleration Time.
3. AC motor drive output power is too small: Replace the AC motor drive with the next higher power model.
ocd
Over-current
during
deceleration
Cause: Over-current during deceleration (Output current exceeds triple rated current during deceleration.)

Soultion:

1. Short-circuit at motor output: Check for possible poor insulation at the output line.
2. Deceleration Time too short: Increase the Deceleration Time.
3. AC motor drive output power is too small: Replace the AC motor drive with the next higher power model.
ocn
Over-current
during steady
state
operation
Cause: Over-current during steady state operation (Output current exceeds triple rated current during constant speed.)

Soultion:

1. Short-circuit at motor output: Check for possible poor insulation at the output line.
2. Sudden increase in motor loading: Check for possible motor stall.
3. AC motor drive output power is too small: Replace the AC motor drive with the next higher power model.
cF1
Internal
EEPROM
can not be
programmed
Cause: Internal EEPROM can not be programmed.

Soultion:

1. Press “RESET” key to the factory setting
2. After this same fault comes then there is an hardware issue in drive need to repair or replace drive.
cF2
Internal
EEPROM
can not be
read
Cause: Internal EEPROM can not be read.

Soultion:

1. Press “RESET” key to the factory setting
2. After this same fault comes then there is an hardware issue in drive need to repair or replace drive.
EF
External
fault
Cause: The external terminal EF-GND goes from OFF to ON.

‹
Soultion:

cE1
Communication
Error
Cause: Communication Error.

Soultion:

1. Check the RS485 connection between the AC motor drive and RS485 master for loose wires and wiring to correct pins.
2. Check if the communication protocol, address, transmission speed, etc. are properly set.
3. Use the correct checksum calculation.
