Fault Code and MeaningCause and Remedy
E01, E02, E03, E04
Overcurrent protection

Cause:
If the motor is constrained or suddenly accelerated or decelerated, a high current will flow in the inverter and the inverter may fail. This protective function uses a DC current detector (CT) to detect overcurrent.

E01: Constant speed operation

E02: Deceleration

E03: Acceleration

E04: Others



Remedy:

Check for constraints on the motor, or sudden acceleration/deceleration conditions.
E05
Overload protection

Cause:
The internal electronic thermal protection circuit monitors the inverter output current and detects a motor overload. The inverter trips according to the setting of the electronic thermal function.



Remedy:

Check motor load and electronic thermal function settings. Note: The inverter will not accept any reset command within about 10 seconds after tripping.
E06
Braking resistor overload protection

Cause:
The BRD operation rate exceeds the setting of “b090”.



Remedy:

Check the usage rate of the braking resistor and the “b090” parameter setting.
E07
Overvoltage protection

Cause:
The DC voltage across the P and N terminals rises too high (approx. 400 VDC for 200V class, 800 VDC for 400V class) due to energy regenerated by the motor or input voltage increase.



Remedy:

Check input voltage and motor regeneration conditions.
E08
EEPROM error

Cause:
Caused by external noise or an abnormal temperature rise. An EEPROM error may result in a CPU error.



Remedy:

Turn off the inverter power once. If “E08” appears again at power-on, the internal memory may have failed. Initialize the inverter and re-set parameters.
E09
Undervoltage

Cause:
The input voltage drops and the control circuit cannot function normally. DC voltage across P and N falls below about 175 VDC (200V class) or 380 VDC (400V class).



Remedy:

Check the input power supply voltage.
E11
CT error

Cause:
An error occurred in the internal current detector (CT). The CT outputs about 0.6 V or more at power-on.



Remedy:

Turn off the inverter power.
E12
CPU error

Cause:
The internal CPU malfunctions or an error occurs in it. Reading abnormal data from the EEPROM may result in a CPU error.



Remedy:

Turn off the inverter power. Reset commands may not be accepted via keypad; use RS terminal or power cycle.
E13
External trip

Cause:
An error occurred in the external equipment or device connected to the inverter, and the inverter fetched the error signal.



Remedy:

Check the external equipment connected to the external trip input.
E14
USP error

Cause:
The inverter power was turned on while an input operation signal was remaining in the inverter (USP function enabled).



Remedy:

Remove the input operation signal before powering on, or reset the alarm.
E15
Ground-fault protection

Cause:
Ground fault detected between the inverter output circuit and the motor upon power-on.



Remedy:

Check the motor and cabling for ground faults. Turn off the inverter power.
E16
Input overvoltage protection

Cause:
Input voltage kept above the specification level for 100 seconds while the inverter is stopped (approx. 390 VDC for 200V class, 780 VDC for 400V class).



Remedy:

Check the input power supply voltage.
E20
Instantaneous power failure protection

Cause:
An instantaneous power failure lasted 15 ms or more.



Remedy:

Check power supply stability. If restart mode is selected, inverter restarts after power recovery.
E21
Temperature error (Fan/Ambient)

Cause:
1. Lowering of cooling-fan speed is detected.

2. Main circuit temperature rises due to high ambient temperature or other reasons.



Remedy:

Check cooling fan operation and ambient temperature/ventilation.
E23
Gate array communication error

Cause:
Communication error between the internal CPU and gate array.



Remedy:

Internal circuit failure. Turn off power.
E24
Phase loss input protection

Cause:
Phase loss input detected (when enabled by b006=01). Phase loss continued for about 1 second or more.



Remedy:

Check input power phases/connections.
E25
Main circuit error

Cause:
The inverter cannot confirm the on/off state of IGBT due to malfunction, noise, short, or damage to the main circuit element.



Remedy:

Check for noise or hardware damage. Turn off the inverter power.
E30
IGBT error

Cause:
Instantaneous overcurrent occurred, main circuit element temperature is abnormal, or drive power dropped.



Remedy:

The inverter cannot retry operation. Check for short circuits or hardware failure.
E35
Thermistor error

Cause:
The resistance of the thermistor (in the motor) connected to the TH terminal indicates that the motor temperature rose.



Remedy:

Check motor temperature and cooling.
E37
Emergency stop

Cause:
The EMR signal is turned on (when slide switch SW1 is ON), or malfunction due to noise when EMR terminal is not ON.



Remedy:

Check EMR signal status and noise interference. Reset by turning on RS terminal (reset via digital operator not accepted).
E38
Low-speed overload protection

Cause:
Overload occurred during motor operation at very low speed (0.2 Hz or less).



Remedy:

Check load conditions at low speed.
E41
Modbus communication error

Cause:
Timeout occurred due to line disconnection during Modbus-RTU communication.



Remedy:

Check communication lines and timeout settings (C076).
E60 to E69
Option 1 error

Cause:
The inverter detects errors in the option board mounted in optional slot 1.



Remedy:

Refer to the instruction manual for the mounted option board.
E70 to E79
Option 2 error

Cause:
The inverter detects errors in the option board mounted in optional slot 2.



Remedy:

Refer to the instruction manual for the mounted option board.
