VLT AutomationDrive FC 301/302 Operating Instructions
Test
Check output limits in4-13 Motor Speed High
Limit [RPM], 4-14 Motor Speed High Limit [Hz],
and 4-19 Max Output Frequency
Check reference input signal scaling in
parameter group 6-0* Analog I/O mode and
parameter group 3-1* References.
Check the settings of all motor parameters,
including all motor compensation settings.
For closed loop operation, check PID settings.
Check for incorrect motor settings in all
motor parameters.
Check brake parameters. Check ramp time
settings.
Motor or panel has a short phase to phase.
Check motor and panel phase to for shorts.
Motor is overloaded for the application.
Perform pre-startup check for loose
connections.
Rotate input power leads into the drive one
position: A to B, B to C, C to A.
Rotate input power leads into the frequency
converter one position: A to B, B to C, C to A.
Rotate output motor leads one position: U to
V, V to W, W to U.
Rotate output motor leads one position: U to
V, V to W, W to U.

Solution
Program correct limits.
Program correct settings.
Check settings in parameter group 1-6*
Load-Depend.Setta. For closed loop
operation check settings in parameter
group 20-0* Feedback.
Check motor settings in parameter
groups 1-2* Motor data 1-3* Adv Motor
Data, and 1-5* Load Indep. Setting.
Check parameter group 2-0* DC Brake and
3-0* Reference Limits.
Eliminate any shorts detected.
Perform startup test and verify motor
current is within specifications. If motor
current is exceeding nameplate full load
current, motor may run only with reduced
load. Review the specifications for the
application.
Tighten loose connections.
If imbalanced leg follows the wire, it is a
power problem. Check mains power
supply.
If imbalance leg stays on same input
terminal, it is a problem with the unit.
Contact supplier.
If imbalanced leg follows the wire, the
problem is in the motor or motor wiring.
Check motor and motor wiring.
If imbalance leg stays on same output
terminal, it is a problem with the unit.
Contact supplier.
Increase the ramp-up time in 3-41 Ramp 1
Ramp Up Time. Increase current limit in
4-18 Current Limit. Increase torque limit in
4-16 Torque Limit Motor Mode.
Increase the ramp-down time in
3-42 Ramp 1 Ramp Down Time. Enable
overvoltage control in 2-17 Over-voltage
Control.
