  • Increase the set value for the underload level.



Over Current1

Fault Trip


Cause: Acc/dec time is too short compared to load inertia (GD2).


Remedy:
  • Increase acc/dec time.



Cause: The inverter load is greater than the rated capacity.


Remedy:
  • Replace the inverter with a model that has increased capacity.



Cause: The inverter supplied an output while the motor was idling.


Remedy:
  • Operate the inverter after the motor has stopped or use the speed search function (CON-60).



Cause: The mechanical brake of the motor is operating too fast.


Remedy:
  • Check the mechanical brake.


Over Voltage

Fault Trip


Cause: The deceleration time is too short for the load inertia (GD2).


Remedy:
  • Increase the deceleration time.



Cause: A generative load occurs at the inverter output.


Remedy:
  • Use the braking unit.



Cause: The input voltage is too high.


Remedy:
  • Check if the input voltage is above the specified value.


Low Voltage / Low Voltage2

Fault Trip


Cause: The input voltage is too low.


Remedy:
  • Check if the input voltage is below the specified value.



Cause: A load greater than the power capacity is connected to the system (e.g. a welder, direct motor connection).


Remedy:
  • Increase the power capacity.



Cause: The magnetic contactor connected to the power source has a faulty connection.


Remedy:
  • Replace the magnetic contactor.
