Fault Name  Fault Descriptions  Corrective Actions 
 
Over voltage 
The DC bus voltage has 
exceeded its maximum 
allowable value. 
1.  Check if the input voltage falls within the rated AC motor 
drive input voltage range. 
2.  Check for possible voltage transients. 
3.  DC-bus over-voltage may also be caused by motor 
regeneration. Either increase the Decel. Time or add an 
optional brake resistor (and brake unit). 
4.  Check whether the required braking power is within the 
specified limits. 
 
Overheating 
Heat sink temperature too high 
1.  Ensure that the ambient temperature falls within the 
specified temperature range. 
2.  Make sure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed. 
3.  Remove any foreign objects from the heatsinks and 
check for possible dirty heat sink fins. 
4.  Check the fan and clean it. 
5.  Provide enough spacing for adequate ventilation. 
 
Low voltage 
The AC motor drive detects that 
the DC bus voltage has fallen 
below its minimum value. 
1.  Check whether the input voltage falls within the AC 
motor drive rated input voltage range. 
2.  Check whether the motor has sudden load. 
3.  Check for correct wiring of input power to R-S-T (for 3-
phase models) without phase loss. 
 
Overload 
The AC motor drive detects 
excessive drive output current. 
NOTE: The AC motor drive can 
withstand up to 150% of the 
rated current for a maximum 
of 60 seconds. 
1.  Check whether the motor is overloaded. 
2.  Reduce torque compensation setting in Pr.7-02. 
3.  Take the next higher power AC motor drive model. 
 
Overload 1 
Internal electronic overload trip 
1.  Check for possible motor overload. 
2.  Check electronic thermal overload setting. 
3.  Use a higher power motor. 
4.  Reduce the current level so that the drive output current 
does not exceed the value set by the Motor Rated 
Current Pr.7-00. 
 
Overload 2 
Motor overload. 
1.  Reduce the motor load. 
2.  Adjust the over-torque detection setting to an 
appropriate setting (Pr.06-03 to Pr.06-05).
