 FAULT CODES 

 

The fault codes, their causes and correcting actions are presented in the table below. The shadowed 
faults are A faults only. The items written in white on black background present faults for which you 
can program different responses in the application. See parameter group Protections. 
 
Note: When contacting distributor or factory because of a fault condition, always write down all texts 
and codes on the keypad display.

 

 

 

Fault 

code 

Fault 

Possible cause 

Correcting measures 

Overcurrent 

BCU has detected too high current 
(>4*I

H

) in the resistor cables: 

- Check cables. 
- Check resistors 

Overvoltage 

The DC-link voltage has exceeded the 
limit: 
911V for 500V BCU 
1200V for 690V BCU 

 

Saturation trip 

Various causes: 

− 

defective component 

− 

brake resistor short-circuit or 
overload 

- Cannot be reset from the keypad.  
- Switch off power. 
- DO NOT RE-CONNECT POWER! 
- Contact your local distributor. 

System fault 

component failure 

faulty operation 

Note exceptional fault data record 
Subcode in T.14: 
S1 = Reserved 
S2 = Reserved 
S3 = Reserved 
S4 = Reserved 
S5 = Reserved 
S6 = Reserved 
S7 = Charging switch 
S8 = No power to driver card 
S9 = Power unit communication (TX) 
S10 = Power unit communication (Trip) 
S11 = Power unit comm. (Measurement)

Reset the fault and restart. 
Should the fault re-occur, contact your 
local distributor. Please visit:

Undervoltage 

DC-link voltage is under the BCU fault 
voltage limit: 
333VDC for 500V BCU 
460VDC for 690V BCU 
 

− 

most probable cause: too low 
supply voltage in the system 

− 

BCU internal fault 

 

- In case of temporary supply voltage 
break, reset the fault and restart the 
frequency converter.  
- Check the supply voltage.  
- If it is adequate, an internal failure has 
occurred. 
- Contact your local distributor.

13 

BCU under-
temperature 

Heatsink temperature is under –10

°

 

14 

BCU over-
temperature 

Heatsink temperature is over 90

°

C  

Overtemperature warning is issued 
when the heatsink temperature exceeds 
85

°

C. 

- Check the correct amount and flow of 
cooling air. 
- Check the heatsink for dust. 
- Check the ambient temperature.
