Troubleshooting
Display the Thermal Drive Load on the LCP and
monitor the value. When running above the
frequency converter continuous current rating,
the counter increases. When running below the
frequency converter continuous current rating,
the counter decreases.
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 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection. The fault occurs
5 5
when the motor runs with more than 100% overload for
too long.
Troubleshooting
Check for motor overheating.
Check if the motor is mechanically overloaded
Check that the motor current set in 1-24 Motor
Current is correct.
Ensure that Motor data in parameters 1-20 to
1-25 are set correctly.
If an external fan is in use, check in 1-91 Motor
External Fan that it is selected.
Running AMA in 1-29 Automatic Motor Adaptation
(AMA) tunes the frequency converter to the
motor more accurately and reduces thermal
loading.
WARNING/ALARM 11, Motor thermistor over temp
Check whether the thermistor is disconnected. Select
whether the frequency converter issues a warning or an
alarm in 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection.
Troubleshooting
Check for motor overheating.
Check if the motor is mechanically overloaded.
When using terminal 53 or 54, check that the
thermistor is connected correctly between either
terminal 53 or 54 (analog voltage input) and
terminal 50 (+10 V supply). Also check that the
terminal switch for 53 or 54 is set for voltage.
Check 1-93 Thermistor Source selects terminal 53
or 54.
When using digital inputs 18 or 19, check that
the thermistor is connected correctly between
either terminal 18 or 19 (digital input PNP only)
and terminal 50. Check 1-93 Thermistor Source
selects terminal 18 or 19.
WARNING/ALARM 12, Torque limit
The torque has exceeded the value in 4-16 Torque Limit
Motor Mode or the value in 4-17 Torque Limit Generator
Mode. 14-25 Trip Delay at Torque Limit can change this from
a warning only condition to a warning followed by an
alarm.

Troubleshooting
WARNING/ALARM 13, Over current
The inverter peak current limit (approximately 200% of the
rated current) is exceeded. The warning lasts about 1.5 s,
then the frequency converter trips and issues an alarm.
This fault can be caused by shock loading or quick
acceleration with high inertia loads. It can also appear after
kinetic back-up if the acceleration during ramp up is quick.
If extended mechanical brake control is selected, trip can
be reset externally.
Troubleshooting
ALARM 14, Earth (ground) fault
There is current from the output phases to earth, either in
the cable between the frequency converter and the motor
or in the motor itself.
Troubleshooting:
ALARM 15, Hardware mismatch
A fitted option is not operational with the present control
board hardware or software.
Record the value of the following parameters and contact
your Danfoss supplier:

If the motor torque limit is exceeded during ramp
up, extend the ramp up time.
If the generator torque limit is exceeded during
ramp down, extend the ramp down time.
If torque limit occurs while running, possibly
increase the torque limit. Make sure that the
system can operate safely at a higher torque.
Check the application for excessive current draw
on the motor.
Remove power and check if the motor shaft can
be turned.
Check that the motor size matches the frequency
converter.
Check parameters 1-20 to 1-25 for correct motor
data.
Remove power to the frequency converter and
repair the earth fault.
Check for earth faults in the motor by measuring
the resistance to ground of the motor leads and
the motor with a megohmmeter.
