Possible cause
Motor rotation limit.
Active reversing signal.
Wrong motor phase connection.
Frequency limits set wrong.
Reference input signal not scaled
correctly.
Possible incorrect parameter
settings.
Possible over-magnetization.
Possible incorrect settings in the
brake parameters. Possible too
short ramp down times.
Phase to phase short.
Motor overload.
Loose connections.
Problem with mains power (See
Alarm 4 Mains phase loss
description).
Problem with the frequency
converter.
Problem with motor or motor
wiring.
Problem with the frequency
converters.

Test
Check that 4-10 Motor Speed
Direction is programmed correctly.
Check if a reversing command is
programmed for the terminal in
parameter group 5-1* Digital
inputs..
Check output limits in 4-13 Motor
Speed High Limit [RPM], 4-14 Motor
Speed High Limit [Hz] and 4-19 Max
Output Frequency.
Check reference input signal
scaling in 6-0* Analog I/O Mode and
parameter group 3-1* References.
Reference limits in parameter
group 3-0* Reference Limit.
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 for shorts.
Motor is overloaded for the
application.
Perform pre-startup check for loose
connections.
Rotate input power leads into the
frequency converter 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 settings.
Deactivate reversing signal.
See 2.4.5 Motor Rotation Check in
this manual.
Program correct limits.
Program correct settings.
Check settings in parameter group
1-6* Analog I/O mode. 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 specifi-
cations. If motor current is
exceeding nameplate full load
current, motor may run only with
reduced load. Review the specifi-
cations 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 the 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 the supplier.
