Fault Code and MeaningCause and Remedy

OLt


Over Load

(Latch Trip)



Displayed when the motor overload trip is activated and the actual load level exceeds the set level. Operates when Pr20 is set to a value other than 0.

Cause:

  • The load is greater than the motor’s rated capacity.

  • The set value for the overload trip level (Pr21) is too low.




Remedy:

  • Ensure that the motor and inverter have appropriate capacity ratings.

  • Increase the set value for the overload trip level.



OCt


Over Current

(Latch Trip)



Displayed when inverter output current exceeds 200% of the rated current.

Cause:

  • Acc/Dec time is too short, compared to load inertia (bA16).

  • The inverter load is greater than the rated capacity.

  • The inverter supplied an output while the motor was idling.

  • The mechanical brake of the motor is operating too fast.




Remedy:

  • Increase Acc/Dec time.

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

  • Operate the inverter after the motor has stopped or use the speed search function (Cn71).

  • Check the mechanical brake.



Ovt


Over Voltage

(Latch Trip)



Displayed when internal DC circuit voltage exceeds the specified value.

Cause:

  • Deceleration time is too short for the load inertia (bA16).

  • A generative load occurs at the inverter output.

  • The input voltage is too high.




Remedy:

  • Increase the acceleration time.

  • Use the braking unit.

  • Determine if the input voltage is above the specified value.



Lvt


Low Voltage

(Level Trip)



Displayed when internal DC circuit voltage is less than the specified value.

Cause:

  • The input voltage is too low.

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

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




Remedy:

  • Determine if the input voltage is below the specified value. Adjust the bA19 (Inverter input voltage) value.

  • Increase the power capacity.

  • Replace the magnetic contactor.



GFt


Ground Trip

(Latch Trip)



Displayed when a ground fault trip occurs on the output side of the inverter.

Cause:

  • A ground fault has occurred in the inverter output wiring.

  • The motor insulation is damaged.




Remedy:

  • Check the output wiring.

  • Replace the motor.



EtH


E-Thermal

(Latch Trip)



Displayed based on inverse time-limit thermal characteristics to prevent motor overheating.

Cause:

  • The motor has overheated.

  • The inverter load is greater than the rated capacity.

  • The inverter has been operated at low speed for an extended duration.




Remedy:

  • Reduce the load or operation frequency.

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

  • Replace the motor with a model that supplies extra power to the cooling fan.



OPO


Out Phase Open

(Latch Trip)



Displayed when a 3-phase inverter output has one or more phases in an open circuit condition.

Cause:

  • The magnetic contactor on the output side has a connection fault.

  • The output wiring is faulty.




Remedy:

  • Check the magnetic contactor on the output side.

  • Check the output wiring.



IOL


Inverter OLT

(Latch Trip)



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

Cause:

  • The load is greater than the rated motor capacity.

  • The torque boost level is too high.




Remedy:

  • Replace the motor and inverter with models that have increased capacity.

  • Reduce the torque boost level.



OHt


Over Heat

(Latch Trip)



Displayed when the temperature of the inverter heat sink exceeds the specified value.

Cause:

  • There is a problem with the cooling system.

  • The inverter cooling fan has been operated for an extended period.

  • The ambient temperature is too high.




Remedy:

  • Determine if a foreign object is obstructing the air inlet, outlet, or vent.

  • Replace the cooling fan.

  • Keep the ambient temperature below 50℃.



ntC


NTC Open

(Latch Trip)



Displayed when an error is detected in the temperature sensor of the IGBT.

Cause:

  • The ambient temperature is too low.

  • There is a fault with the internal temperature sensor.




Remedy:

  • Keep the ambient temperature above -10℃.

  • Contact the retailer or the LS ELECTRIC customer service center.



FAn


Fan Trip

(Latch Trip)



Displayed when an error is detected in the cooling fan.

Cause:

  • A foreign object is obstructing the fan’s air vent.

  • The cooling fan needs to be replaced.




Remedy:

  • Remove the foreign object from the air inlet or outlet.

  • Replace the cooling fan.



rOt


Relay Open Trip

(Fatal Trip)



Displayed when the input power is unstable or an initial charging circuit trip occurs.

Cause:

  • The input power is unstable or an initial charging circuit trip occurs while supplying power to the inverter.




Remedy:

  • Turn off and on the power again.

  • If the problem continues, stop using the inverter and contact the retailer or the LS ELECTRIC customer service center.
