Troubleshooting and Fault Diagnostics
5.1.
General
Inverter fault detection and early warning / self-diagnosis function. When the inverter detects a fault, a fault
message is displayed on the keypad. The fault contact output energizes and the motor will coast to stop (The
stop method can be selected for specific faults).
When the inverter detects a warning / self-diagnostics error, the digital operator will display a warning or self-di-
agnostic code, the fault output does not energize in this case. Once the warning is removed, the system will
automatically return to its original state.
5.2.
Fault Detection Function
When a fault occurs, please refer to Table 10.2.1 for possible causes and take appropriate measures.
Use one of the following methods to restart:
1. Set one of multi-function digital input terminals (03-00, 03-07) to 17 (Fault reset); activate input
2. Press the reset button on the keypad.
3. Power down inverter wait until keypad goes blank and power-up the inverter again.
When a fault occurs, the fault message is stored in the fault history (see group 12 parameters).

than the inverter rated value.
•Short circuit or ground fault.
•Acceleration time is too short.
•Size of motor is bigger than inverter.
•Short circuit between winding and shell of
motor.

motor.
•IGBT broken module.
•Instantaneous change of load.
•Instantaneous change of current.
•Deceleration time is too short.
• Short circuit or ground fault (08-23 = 1).
• Motor damaged (insulation).
• Wire damage or deterioration.
• Motor damaged (insulation).
• Wire damage or deterioration.
• Inverter DCCT sensors defect.
• Deceleration time set too short, resulting in
regenerative energy flowing back from motor to
the inverter.
• The inverter input voltage is too high.
• Use of power factor correction capacitors.
• Excessive braking load.

• Speed search parameters set incorrectly.
Cause
• Extend acceleration / deceleration time.
• Check the motor wiring.
• Disconnect motor and try running inverter.
•Set the longer acceleration time.
•Change to bigger size of inverter.
•Examine motor.
•Check the wire.
•Replace IGBT module (Please contact Gefran
Technical Assistance).
•Change to bigger size of inverter.
•Add reactor to power source.
•Set the longer acceleration time.
• Check the motor wiring.
• Disconnect motor and try running inverter.
• Replace motor.
• Check the motor wiring.
• Disconnect motor and try running inverter.
• Check resistance between cables and ground.
• Reduce carrier frequency
• Increase deceleration time
• Reduce input voltage to comply with the
input voltage requirements or install an AC line
reactor to lower the input voltage.
• Remove the power factor correction capa-
citor.
• Use dynamic braking unit.
• Replace braking transistor or resistor.
• Adjust speed search parameters.
