What causes IGBT protection to activate in Emerson DC Drives?
- MMichael StevensSep 4, 2025
If the IGBT protections are activated in your Emerson DC Drives, it could be due to several reasons: instantaneous over-current (refer to E001~E003), a short-circuit among the 3-phase output or line-to-ground short circuit (rewiring may be necessary), an obstructed vent or a non-working fan (clean the vent or replace the fan), over-temperature (lower the ambient temperature), loose wires or connectors on the control board (check and rewire), a distorted current waveform due to output phase loss (check the wiring). If the auxiliary power supply is damaged or the IGBT driving voltage is too low, or if there's a short-circuit of the IGBT bridge, or the control board is abnormal, seek service.
