CUR UNBAL xx
(2330)
02.15 AW1 bit 14 
(programmable 
Fault Function 
30.17)
Drive has detected excessive output current 
unbalance in inverter unit of several parallel 
connected inverter modules. This can be 
caused by external fault (ground fault, motor, 
motor cabling, etc.) or internal fault (damaged 
inverter component). xx (2...12) refers to 
inverter module number.
Check there are no power factor correction 
capacitors or surge absorbers in motor cable.
Check that there is no ground fault in motor or 
motor cables: measure insulation resistances 
of motor and motor cable.
If no earth fault can be detected, contact your 
local ABB representative.
DC BUS LIM
(3211)
Drive limits torque due to too high or too low 
intermediate circuit DC voltage.
Informative alarm
Check Fault Function parameters.
ENC CABLE
(7310)
Pulse encoder phase signal is missing. Check pulse encoder and its wiring.
Check pulse encoder interface module and its 
wiring.
ENCODER A<>B
(7302)
Pulse encoder phasing is wrong: Phase A is 
connected to terminal of phase B and vice 
versa.
Interchange connection of pulse encoder 
phases A and B.
ENCODER ERR
(7301)
02.15 AW 1 bit 05
Communication fault between pulse encoder 
and pulse encoder interface module and 
between module and drive
Check pulse encoder and its wiring, pulse 
encoder interface module and its wiring, 
parameter group 50 PULSE ENCODER 
settings.
FAN OTEMP
(FF83)
Excessive temperature of drive output filter fan. 
Supervision is in use in step-up drives.
Stop drive. Let it cool down. 
Check ambient temperature. 
Check fan rotates in correct direction and air 
flows freely.
GROUND FAULT
02.15 AW 1 bit 14
(programmable 
Fault Function 
30.17)
Drive has detected load unbalance typically 
due to earth fault in motor or motor cable.
Check there are no power factor correction 
capacitors or surge absorbers in motor cable.
Check that there is no earth fault in motor or 
motor cables: measure insulation resistances 
of motor and motor cable.
If no earth fault can be detected, contact your 
local ABB representative.
HW RECONF RQ
(FF38)
Inverter type (e.g. sr0025_3) has been 
changed. Inverter type is usually changed at 
factory or during drive implementation.
Wait until alarm POWEROFF! activates and 
switch control board power off to validate 
inverter type change.
ID DONE
(FF32)
Drive has performed motor identification 
magnetization and is ready for operation. This 
warning belongs to normal start-up procedure.
Continue drive operation.
ID MAGN
(FF31)
Motor identification magnetization is on. This 
warning belongs to normal start-up procedure. 
Wait until drive indicates that motor 
identification is completed.
ID MAGN REQ
(FF30)
Motor identification is required. This warning 
belongs to normal start-up procedure. Drive 
expects user to select how motor identification 
should be performed: By Identification 
Magnetization or by ID Run.
Start Identification Magnetization by pressing 
Start key, or select ID Run and start (see 
parameter 99.10).
ID N CHANGED
(FF68)
Drive ID number has been changed from 1. Change ID number back to 1. See chapter 
Control panel.
