Fault Code and MeaningCause and Remedy

E.OC1

Overcurrent shut-off during acceleration

Cause: When the inverter output current reaches or exceeds approximately 200% of the rated current during acceleration.


Check points: Check for sudden acceleration, output short circuit, or if main circuit power (R, S, T) is supplied.

Remedy:

  • Increase the acceleration time.

  • If “E.OC1” is always lit at a start, disconnect the motor once and then start the inverter. If “E.OC1” is still lit, contact your sales representative.

  • Supply main circuit power (R, S, T).



E.OC2

Overcurrent shut-off during constant speed

Cause: When the inverter output current reaches or exceeds approximately 200% of the rated current during constant speed.


Check points: Check for sudden load change or output short circuit.

Remedy:

  • Keep load stable.



E.OC3

Overcurrent shut-off during deceleration

Cause: When the inverter output current reaches or exceeds approximately 200% of the rated current during deceleration.


Check points: Check for sudden speed reduction, output short circuit, or too fast operation of motor’s mechanical brake.

Remedy:

  • Increase the deceleration time.

  • Check mechanical brake operation.



E.OV1

Regenerative overvoltage shut-off during acceleration

Cause: Regenerative energy causes the inverter’s internal main circuit DC voltage to reach or exceed the specified value. It may also be activated by a surge voltage generated in the power supply system.


Check points: Check for too slow acceleration.

Remedy:

  • Decrease the acceleration time.



E.OV2

Regenerative overvoltage shut-off during constant speed

Cause: Regenerative energy causes internal main circuit DC voltage to exceed specified value (or surge voltage).


Check points: Check for sudden load change.

Remedy:

  • Keep load stable.

  • Use the brake unit or power return converter (FR-RC) as required.



E.OV3

Regenerative overvoltage shut-off during deceleration or stop

Cause: Regenerative energy causes internal main circuit DC voltage to exceed specified value (or surge voltage).


Check points: Check for sudden speed reduction.

Remedy:

  • Increase the deceleration time. (Set the deceleration time which meets load GD²).

  • Decrease the braking duty.

  • Use the brake unit or power return converter (FR-RC) as required.



E.THM

Motor overload shut-off (electronic overcurrent protection)

Cause: Motor overheat due to overload or reduced cooling capability during constant-speed operation. (Pre-alarm occurs at 85% of preset value).


Check points: Check the motor for use under overload.

Remedy:

  • Reduce the load weight.

  • For a constant-torque motor, change the Pr. 71 setting to the constant-torque motor setting.



E.THT

Inverter overload shut-off (electronic overcurrent protection)

Cause: Current of more than 150% of the rated output current flows. Inverse-time characteristics activate protection to protect output transistors.


Check points: Check the motor for use under overload.

Remedy:

  • Reduce the load weight.



E.IPF

Instantaneous power failure protection

Cause: A power failure occurred for longer than 15ms.


Check points: Find the cause of instantaneous power failure occurrence.

Remedy:

  • Remedy the instantaneous power failure.

  • Prepare a backup power supply for instantaneous power failure.

  • Set the function of automatic restart after instantaneous power failure.


E.UVT

Undervoltage protection

Cause:

Power supply voltage reduces below 150V (about 300V for the 400V class). Large-capacity motor start causing voltage dip. Jumper not connected across P-P1.


Remedy:


  • Check the power supply system equipment.

  • Connect a jumper or DC reactor across terminals P-P1.


E.FIN

Fin overheat

Cause:

Cooling fin overheats (sensor actuated). Too high ambient temperature or cooling fin clogging.


Remedy:


  • Set the ambient temperature to within the specifications.

  • Clean the cooling fins.


E.GF

Output side ground fault overcurrent protection

Cause:

Ground fault overcurrent flows due to a ground fault in the inverter’s output side (load side). Check for ground fault in motor or connection cable.


Remedy:


  • Remedy the ground fault portion.


E.OHT

OH Fault (External thermal relay operation)

Cause:

External thermal relay or internal motor temperature relay switched on (contacts open). Motor overheating. Incorrect setting of Pr. 180 to Pr. 186.


Remedy:


  • Reduce the load and operating duty.

  • Check Pr. 180 to Pr. 186 settings.


E.BE

Br. Cct. Fault (Brake transistor alarm detection)

Cause:

Brake circuit fault due to damaged brake transistors. Load GD² is too high or improper braking usage frequency.


Remedy:


  • Change the inverter.

  • Reduce load GD².


E.OLT

Stall prevention (Still Prev STP)

Cause:

Running frequency fell to 0 because stall prevention was activated. Motor used under overload.


Remedy:


  • Reduce the load weight.


E.OPT

Option Fault

Cause:

Dedicated option setting error or connection fault. High power factor converter connection set but AC power supplied to R, S, T. Loose connector.


Remedy:


  • Connect the plugged-in option securely.

  • Contact your sales representative.


E.OP1 to OP3

Option slot alarm 1 to 3

Cause:

Functional alarm in the plug-in option (e.g. communication alarm). Wrong option function setting or operation.


Remedy:


  • Confirm the option function setting, etc.


E.PE

Corrupt Memory (Parameter storage device alarm)

Cause:

Fault in the E²PROM device. Too many parameter write times.


Remedy:


  • Contact your sales representative.


E.PUE

PU Leave Out (Parameter unit disconnection)

Cause:

Communication between inverter and PU suspended/disconnected. Loose fitting of DU or PU. Pr. 75 setting issue.


Remedy:

E.RET

Retry No Over (Retry count exceeded)

Cause:

Operation could not be resumed within the set number of retries.


Remedy:


  • Eliminate the cause of the error preceding this indication.


E.LF

FN
Fan fault

Cause: Check the cooling fan for a fault.

  • You attempted to change the operation mode during operation.

  • You attempted to set any parameter value outside its setting range.

  • Normal communication cannot be made between the PU and inverter.

  • You attempted to make parameter setting when Pr. 77 “parameter write disable selection” has been set to disable parameter write.
