The pre-charge contact fault (F185) error code in the WEG CFW-11 Series indicates a fault with the pre-charge contactor. Possible causes include a defective pre-charge contactor or, in cases where the inverter is powered by the DC link (frame size E), parameter P0355 should be set to 0.

Questions and answers
I got an fault error code pre charge contact fault (F185)
@Kagiso Chuene
The pre-charge contact fault (F185) error code in the WEG CFW-11 Series indicates a fault with the pre-charge contactor. Possible causes include a defective pre-charge contactor or, in cases where the inverter is powered by the DC link (frame size E), parameter P0355 should be set to 0.
