Remedy
Check whether the inverter fan is running.
Check whether the ambient temperature is in the permissible range.
Check whether the motor is overloaded.
Reduce the pulse frequency.
Check the rated currents of the motor and inverter.
Reduce the current limit p0640.
When operating with V/f characteristic: Reduce p1341.
Check the inverter's input fuses.
Check the motor cables.
Check the motor cables.
Increase the ramp-up or ramp-down time (p1120).
● Check the power cable connections.
● Check the motor.
● Check the current transformer.
● Check the cables and contacts of the brake connection (a wire might be
broken).
Check or replace the inverter.
CE
Check the line voltage.
Check the line voltage setting (p0210).
● Check whether the fan is running.
● Check the fan filter elements.
● Check whether the ambient temperature is in the permissible range.
See F30035 and, in addition:
● Check the motor load.
● Check the line phases
Check the internal fan and if required replace.
Replace the inverter or upgrade the inverter firmware.
Replace the inverter.
Check the internal fan and if required replace.
There is a communications fault between the Control Unit and the Power
Module. Possible cause:
● The external 24 V Control Unit power supply has dipped to ≤95% of the
rated voltage for ≤3 ms
● Check the device supply voltage (p0210).
● Check the line reactor dimensioning
Switch off the inverter and switch on again, upgrade the firmware or contact
technical support.
Switch off the inverter and switch on again, upgrade the firmware or contact
technical support.
Replace the inverter or contact technical support.
Check that the sensor is connected correctly.
