connectors, or parts may be damaged.
∗ An input overcurrent may result from wrong internal wiring. If the system is interrupted by an input
overcurrent after the wires have been disconnected and reconnected for part replacement, check the
wiring again.
Check No. 17
Check the installation condition.
Is the
power supply
voltage fluctuation within
±10% from the rated
value?
YES
Start operation and measure the
input current.
Input current flowing
above its stop level?
YES
Turn off the power and disconnect
the harnesses U, V, and W.
Check No.15
Check with the inverter analyzer.
Any LED off?
NO
Turn off the power, and reconnect
the harnesses. Turn on the power
again and start operation.
Check No. 18
