Troubleshooting
WARNING/ALARM 8, DC under voltage
If the DC-link voltage (DC) drops below the undervoltage
limit, the frequency converter trips after a fixed time delay.
The time delay varies with unit size.
WARNING/ALARM 9, Inverter overloaded
The frequency converter is about to cut out because of an
overload (too high current for too long). The counter for
electronic, thermal inverter protection issues a warning at
90% and trips at 100%, while issuing an alarm. The
4
4
frequency converter cannot be reset until the counter is
below 90%.
The fault is that the frequency converter is overloaded by
more than 100% for too long.
NOTICE
See the chapter Derating in the design guide for more
details, if a high switching frequency is required.
WARNING/ALARM 10, Motor overload temperature
According to the electronic thermal protection (ETR), the
motor is too hot. Select whether the frequency converter
issues a warning or an alarm when the counter reaches
100% in parameter 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection. The fault
is that the motor is overloaded by more than 100% for too
long.
CAUTION
Live Electrical Components!
Troubleshooting
•
Check if the motor is overheating.
•
Check if the motor is mechanically overloaded.
•
Ensure that the motor parameter 1-24 Motor
Current is set correctly.
•
Ensure motor data in parameters 1-20 through
1-25 are set correctly.
•
Run AMA in parameter 1-29 Automatic Motor
Adaption (AMA).
WARNING/ALARM 11, Motor thermistor over temp
CAUTION
Disconnect power before proceeding.
WARNING/ALARM 13, Overcurrent
The inverter peak current limit is exceeded. The warning
lasts about 1.5 s, then the frequency converter trips and
issues an alarm.
Troubleshooting
•
This fault may be caused by shock loading or fast
acceleration with high inertia loads.
•
Turn off the frequency converter. Check if the
motor shaft can be turned.
•
Check that the motor size matches the frequency
converter.

ALARM 14, Earth (ground) fault
There is a discharge from the output phases to ground,
either in the cable between the frequency converter and
the motor or in the motor itself.
CAUTION
Disconnect power before proceeding.

ALARM 16, Short circuit
There is short-circuiting in the motor or on the motor
terminals.
CAUTION
Disconnect power before proceeding.
Turn off the frequency converter and remove the short
circuit.
WARNING/ALARM 17, Control word timeout
There is no communication to the frequency converter.
The warning is only active when parameter 8-04 Control
Timeout Function is not set to [0] Off.
If parameter 8-04 Control Timeout Function is set to [5] Stop
and trip, a warning appears and the frequency converter
ramps down until it trips while giving an alarm.

WARNING/ALARM 24, Fan fault
The fan warning function is an extra protection function
that checks whether the fan is running/mounted. The fan
warning can be disabled in parameter 14-53 Fan Monitor
([0] Disabled).
Troubleshooting
•
02/2017 All rights reserved.
Incorrect motor data in parameters 1-20 to 1-25.
Turn off the frequency converter and remove the
ground fault.
Measure the resistance to ground the motor
cables and the motor with a megohmmeter to
check for ground faults in the motor.
Check connections on the serial communication
cable.
Increase parameter 8-03 Control Timeout Time.
Check operation of the communication
equipment.
Verify proper installation based on EMC
requirements.
Check fan resistance.
