Ground fault (GFF) 
When (one of) the output terminal(s) is grounded, short
circuit current is larger than Pr. 06-60 
the detection time is longer than Pr. 06-
GFF occurs.   
NOTE: the short circuit protection is provided for AC 
motor drive protection, not to protect the user.   
Action and Reset 
Action condition  Pr.06-60 (Default = 60%) 
Action time  Pr.06-61 (Default = 0.10 sec.) 
Fault treatment parameter  N/A 
Reset method  Manual reset 
Reset condition  Reset in 5 sec. after the fault is cleared 
Record  Yes 
Cause  Corrective Actions 
Motor burnout or aging insulation 
occurred   
Check the motor insulation value with megger. Replace th
e motor if the insulation 
is poor. 
Short circuit due to broken cable 
Troubleshoot the short circuit. 
Replace the cable. 
Larger stray capacitance of the 
cable and terminal 
 
If the motor cable length exceeds 100m, decrease the setting value for 
frequency. 
Take remedies to reduce stray capacitance. 
Malfunction caused by 
interference 
Verify the grounding and wiring of the communication circuit. It is recommended 
to separate the communication circuit from the main circuit, or wire in 90 degree 
for effective sufficient anti-interference performance. 
Hardware failure 
Cycle the 
power after checking the status of motor, cable and cable length. If 
GFF still occurs, return to the factory for repair.
