To resolve a DC bus ripple too high error on your Bardac DC Drives, check that the incoming power supply phases are present and balanced.
What causes Heatsink over temperature in Bardac DC Drives and how to fix it?
If your Bardac DC Drives unit is showing a heatsink over temperature warning, it means the drive is too hot. Ensure the ambient temperature around the drive is within the specified limits. Also, make sure there is sufficient cooling air circulating freely around the drive to dissipate heat.
What does Motor Thermal Overload (I2t) mean on Bardac E3 DC Drives, and how can I resolve it?
The Motor Thermal Overload (I2t) error on Bardac DC Drives indicates that the drive has been delivering >100% of the value set in P-08 for an extended period, which prevents damage to the motor. If this fault occurs during deceleration or stopping, try increasing the deceleration time in P-04. Alternatively, install a suitable brake resistor and activate the dynamic braking function with P-34.
Why does my Bardac DC Drives show Under voltage on DC bus, and how do I fix it?
An 'Under voltage on DC bus' error on your Bardac DC Drives usually means the incoming supply voltage is too low. If this occurs during running, check the incoming power supply voltage and inspect all components in the power feed line to the drive.
