Over-current during 
steady operation   
(ocn)   
Output current exceeds 1.9 times of rated current at constant speed. When ocn 
occurs, the drive closes the gate of the output immediately, the motor runs 
freely, and the display shows an ocn error. 
190% of the rated current 
Fault Treatment Parameter 
Reset in 5 sec. after the fault is cleared 
Short circuit at motor output due to 
poor insulation wiring 
Check the motor cable and remove causes of the short  circuits or replace the 
cable before turning on the power. 
Check for possible shaft lock, 
burnout, or aging insulation of the 
motor 
Troubleshoot the motor shaft lock. 
Check the motor insulation value with megger. Replace the motor if the insulation 
is poor. 
Impulsive change of the load 
Reduce the load or increase the capacity of AC motor drive. 
Use special motor or motor with 
larger capacity than the drive 
Check the motor capacity (the rated current on the motor’s nameplate should ≤ 
the rated current of the drive)   
Use ON/OFF controller of an 
electromagnetic contactor at the 
output (U/V/W) of the drive 
Check the action timing of the contactor and make sure it is not turned ON / OFF 
when the drive outputs the voltage. 
Adjust V/F curve setting and frequency/voltage. When the fault occurs, and the 
frequency voltage is too high, reduce the voltage. 
Torque compensation is too large 
Adjust the torque compensation (refer to Pr. E0-16 torque compensation gain) 
until the current reduces and the motor does not stall. 
Malfunction caused by 
interference 
Verify the wiring of the control circuit and wiring/grounding of the main circuit to 
prevent interference. 
The length of motor cable is too 
long 
Enlarge the AC motor drive’s capacity. 
Install AC reactor(s) on the output side (U/V/W). 
The ocA occurs due to short circuit or ground fault at the output side of the drive. 
Check for possible short circuits between terminals with the electric meter 
corresponds to U, V and W. 
If short circuit occurs, return to the factory for repair.
