).
When this fault is reported, all inverters within the motor are disabled, and any vehicles in
motion over the motor are no longer under active control and as such their motion is unde-
fined. This fault self-clears and normal operation resumes once the internal propulsion bus
voltage falls below +820V DC. To avoid issuing an overvoltage fault to the host controller due
to spurious noise, the internal propulsion bus that is used to trigger this event is filtered.
Based on the specific system wiring and vehicle activity, it is possible for regenerated power
resulting from vehicle decelerations to cause the internal propulsion bus voltage to rise to
excessive levels. To help protect against this, protective features guard against operating con-
ditions that could damage the motor. Since the source of such a condition is due to regenera-
tion effects associated with active braking or deceleration of a vehicle (loaded or unloaded), a
means (among others) of mitigating such regenerated power is to shut down the inverters in
the motor. Shunt resistors can be connected to the 2198-Pxxx DC-bus power supplies to pro-
vide additional shunt capacity for applications where the DC-bus power supply’s internal
shunt capacity is exceeded during power regeneration when braking. See the

Hardware Overcurrent Warning
When any phase current or the propulsion power input current exceeds ±25 A, the motor
reports an overcurrent warning. The HLC reports this warning to the host controller as a Hard-
ware Overcurrent Warning (see either the
Host Controller TCP/IP Communication Protocol
User Manual
,
Host Controller EtherNet/IP Communication Protocol
User Manual
,
When this warning is reported, the inverter clears the fault and retries 10 ms after the fault has
occurred. If the fault is still active, or another fault happens within 5 seconds, the inverter
latches off. Once the inverter latches off, the HLC reports a Hardware Overcurrent Fault to the
host controller. If 5 seconds pass and another fault has NOT happened, the inverter is allowed
to retry if a subsequent overcurrent fault occurs.
Hardware Overcurrent Fault
When a Hardware Overcurrent Warning fails to clear, the HLC reports this fault to the host
controller as a Hardware Overcurrent Fault (see either the
Host Controller TCP/IP Communi-
cation Protocol User Manual
Host Controller EtherNet/IP Communica-
tion Protocol User Manual
). Once this fault is reported, the inverter must be
reset.
Power-Related Fault Resolution
The power-related error messages and the associated faults persist until the voltage of the
internal propulsion bus in the motor is b330V and +830V DC. Once the voltage is
