Trips and Fault Finding
650V AC Drive
ID
Trip Name
Possible Reason for Trip
3 OVERCURRENT
The motor current being drawn from the drive is too high:
•
Trying to accelerate a large inertia load too quickly;
ACCEL TIME time too short
•
Trying to decelerate a large inertia load too quickly;
DECEL TIME time too short
•
Application of shock load to motor
•
Short circuit between motor phases
•
Short circuit between motor phase and earth
•
Motor output cables too long or too many parallel
motors connected to the drive
•
FIXED BOOST level set too high
4 HEATSINK
Drive heatsink temperature > 100ºC:
•
The ambient air temperature is too high
Poor ventilation or spacing between drives
5 EXTERNAL
TRIP
The external trip input is high:
•
Check configuration to identify the source of the signal
(non-standard configuration)
6 INVERSE
TIME
A prolonged overload condition, exceeding the Inverse Time
allowance, has caused the trip:
•
Remove the overload condition - refer to Chapter 5:
P
12
7 CURRENT
LOOP
A current of less than 1mA is present when 4-20mA setpoint
is selected:
•
Look for a wire break
8 MOTOR
STALLED
The motor has stalled (not rotating) Drive in current limit
>200 seconds:
•
Motor loading too great
•
FIXED BOOST level set too high
9 ANIN
FAULT
AIN2 overload on terminal 3:
•
Overcurrent applied in Current mode to terminal 3
10 BRAKE RESISTOR
External dynamic brake resistor has been overloaded:
•
Trying to decelerate a large inertia too quickly or too
often
11 BRAKE
SWITCH
Internal dynamic braking switch has been overloaded:
•
Trying to decelerate a large inertia too quickly or too
often
12 DISPLAY/KEYPAD
Keypad has been disconnected from drive whilst drive is
running in Local Control:
•
Keypad accidentally disconnected from drive (indicated
over Comms, or by second keypad)
13 LOST COMMS
Lost communications:
•
COMMS TIMEOUT parameter set too short
•
Master device failed
•
Wiring broken
•
Incorrect Comms setup
