Common Problems and Solutions (Continued)
Fault
Name Fault Descriptions Corrective Actions
Over-current during 
acceleration:
1. Short-circuit at motor 
output.
2. Torque boost too high.
3. Acceleration time too short.
4. AC drive output capacity is 
too small.
1. Check for possible poor insulation at the 
output line.
2. Decrease the torque boost setting in 60.09.
3. Increase the acceleration time.
4. Replace the AC drive with one that has a 
higher output capacity (next hp size).
Over-current during 
deceleration:
1. Short-circuit at motor 
output.
2. Deceleration time too short.
3. AC drive output capacity is 
too small.
1. Check for possible poor insulation at the 
output line.
2. Increase the deceleration time.
3. Replace the AC drive with one that has a 
higher output capacity (next hp size).
Over-current during steady 
state operation:
1. Short-circuit at motor 
output.
2. Sudden increase in motor 
loading.
3. AC drive output capacity is 
too small.
1. Check for possible poor insulation at the 
output line.
2. Check for possible motor stall.
3. Replace the AC drive with one that has a 
higher output capacity (next hp size).
Internal memory cannot be 
programmed.
1. Switch off power supply.
2. Check whether the input voltage falls within 
the rated AC drive input voltage.
Switch the AC drive back on.
Internal memory cannot be 
read.
1. Check the connections between the main 
control board and the power board.
2. Reset the drive to factory defaults.
Hardware protection failure Return the drive to the factory. 
Software protection failure Return the drive to the factory.
Drive’s internal circuitry is 
abnormal.
1. Switch off power supply.
2. Check whether the input voltage falls within 
the rated AC drive input voltage. Switch on 
the AC drive.
The external terminal DI1-COM 
goes from OFF to ON.
When external terminal DI1-COM is closed, the 
drive’s output will be turned off and will display 
EF.
Auto acceleration/deceleration 
failure
Don’t use the auto acceleration/ deceleration 
function.
Ground fault:
The AC drive output is abnormal. 
When the output terminal is 
grounded (short circuit current is 
50% more than the AC drive 
rated current), the AC drive 
power module may be damaged. 
The short circuit protection is 
provided for AC drive protection, 
not user protection.
Ground fault:
1. Check whether the IGBT power module is 
damaged.
2. Check for possible poor insulation on the 
output wires or on the motor.
External Pause.
AC drive output is turned off.
1. When the external input terminal (pause) is 
active, the AC drive output will be turned off. 
2. Disable this (pause) and the AC drive will 
begin to work again.
