Create Fault Reports
Complete fault reports are critical for analysis and repair of modules that are
returned to the factory.
At a minimum, perform these tasks:
Use an Allen-Bradley® drive configuration tool, such as Connected
Components Workbench
software, DriveExplorer
software, or
DriveExecutive
software, to perform these tasks:
Upload all parameters from the PowerFlex Active Front End.
Run the technical support wizard.
Collect the AFE system application data that are shown in Appendix E
.
If possible, record the contents of the fault queue (faults and times of
occurrence).
Record the following information:
Any burn marks on the rectifying module, DC capacitors, inverter
bridge, charging resistors, balancing/precharging resistors, printed
circuit boards, bus bars, cabling, and fiber-optic cabling.
Any liquid and condensation marks on printed circuit boards,
components, and mechanical parts.
Amount of dust and other additional particles on drive and drive
components.
Any mechanical damage to the drive and drive components.
Record the size and type of main fuses.
Record any other important marks and damage.
Note grounding type (solid, high-resistance, or floating) and source
impedance of the power distribution system.

No. Name Description Action (if appropriate)
1 PrechargeActv The AFE is still in precharge because
the charging switch is open:
K20, K6, and K1 for AFE in IP20
2500 MCC Style enclosure
K20, K6, and Q1 for AFE in IP21
Rittal enclosure
Faulty operation
Component failure
Reset the fault and restart.
If the fault reoccurs, contact technical
support.
2 Auxiliary In The AFE control digital input interlock
is open.
Verify wiring to the digital inputs on the
AFE control board is correct.
4 DC UnderVolt The DC bus voltage fell below the
minimum value of 333V for 400/480V
units, or 461V for 600/690V units. You
can enable/disable this fault with
parameter 120 [Fault Config].
Monitor the incoming AC line for low
voltage or power interruption.
