  • The DC link capacitor needs to be replaced.




Remedy:

  • Check the magnetic contactor on the input side.

  • Check the input wiring.

  • Replace the DC link capacitor (Contact retailer/service center).


IOLT


Inverter OLT

Displayed when the inverter has been protected from overload and resultant overheating.

Cause:
