occurs when the motor is overloaded by more than 100%
for too long.
Troubleshooting
Check for motor overheating.
Check if the motor is mechanically overloaded.
Check that the motor current set in
1-24 Motor
Current
is correct.
Ensure that Motor data in parameters 1-20
through 1-25 are set correctly.
If an external fan is in use, check in
1-91 Motor
External Fan
that it is selected.
Running AMA in
1-29 Automatic Motor Adaptation
(AMA)
may tune the Adjustable frequency drive
to the motor more accurately and reduce thermal
loading.
WARNING/ALARM 11, Motor thermistor over temp
The thermistor might be disconnected. Select whether the
Adjustable frequency drive gives a warning or an alarm in
1-90 Motor Thermal Protection
.
Troubleshooting
Check for motor overheating.
Check if the motor is mechanically overloaded.
When using terminal 53 or 54, check that the
thermistor is connected correctly between either
terminal 53 or 54 (analog voltage input) and
terminal 50 (+10V supply) and that the terminal
switch for 53 or 54 is set for voltage. Check
1-93 Thermistor Source
selects terminal 53 or 54.
When using digital inputs 18 or 19, check that
the thermistor is connected correctly between
either terminal 18 or 19 (digital input PNP only)
and terminal 50. Check
1-93 Thermistor Source
selects terminal 18 or 19.
WARNING/ALARM 12, Torque limit
The torque has exceeded the value in
4-16 Torque Limit
Motor Mode
or the value in
4-17 Torque Limit Generator
Mode
.
14-25 Trip Delay at Torque Limit
can change this from
a warning only condition to a warning followed by an
alarm.
Troubleshooting
If the motor torque limit is exceeded during
ramp-up, extend the ramp-up time.
If the generator torque limit is exceeded during
ramp-down, extend the ramp--down time.
If torque limit occurs while running, possibly
increase the torque limit. Be sure the system can
operate safely at a higher torque.
Check the application for excessive current draw
on the motor.
WARNING/ALARM 13, Overcurrent
The inverter peak current limit (approximately 200% of the
rated current) is exceeded. The warning lasts about 1.5
secs., then the Adjustable frequency drive trips and issues
an alarm. This fault may be caused by shock loading or
fast acceleration with high inertia loads. If extended
mechanical brake control is selected, trip can be reset
externally.
Troubleshooting:
Remove power and check if the motor shaft can
be turned.
Check that the motor size matches the Adjustable
frequency drive.
Check parameters 1-20 through 1-25 for correct
motor data.
ALARM 14, Ground fault
There is current from the output phases to ground, either
in the cable between the Adjustable frequency drive and
the motor or in the motor itself.
Troubleshooting:
Remove power to the Adjustable frequency drive
and repair the ground fault.
Check for ground faults in the motor by
measuring the resistance to ground of the motor
leads and the motor with a megohmmeter.
ALARM 15, Hardware mismatch
A fitted option is not operational with the present control
board hardware or software.
Record the value of the following parameters and contact
your Danfoss supplier:
15-40 FC Type
15-41 Power Section
15-42 Voltage
15-43 Software Version
15-45 Actual Typecode String
15-49 SW ID Control Card
15-50 SW ID Power Card
15-60 Option Mounted
15-61 Option SW Version
(for each option slot)
ALARM 16, Short circuit
There is short-circuiting in the motor or motor wiring.
Remove power to the Adjustable frequency drive and
repair the short circuit.
