What causes a Frecon FR500A-4T-030G/037PB to display Inverter overload and how to resolve it?
- J
  Jon StephensonSep 4, 2025
  An 'Inverter overload' error on your Frecon Inverter can be caused by a load that is too heavy or a locked-rotor condition on the motor. In this case, reduce the load and check the motor and mechanical condition. Another possible cause is that the AC drive model is of too small a power class, so you may need to select an AC drive of higher power class.

What does PID feedback loss mean on Frecon FR500A-4T-030G/037PB?
- J
  Jill ReedSep 18, 2025
  A 'PID feedback loss' in Frecon Inverter means that PID feedback set value is less than F13.24, so check the PID feedback signal or set to an appropriate value F13.24.

What causes Motor auto-tuning fault in Frecon FR500A-4T-030G/037PB Inverter?
- S
  suzanne09Sep 16, 2025
  A 'Motor auto-tuning fault' in Frecon Inverter is caused by the motor and the inverter output terminals are not connected, so check the connection between the inverter and motor. Also, the motor does not disengage the load, so the motor is disengaged load. The electrical fault, so check the motor.

What does Braking unit fault mean on Frecon FR500A-4T-030G/037PB?
- M
  Mary ColeSep 15, 2025
  A 'Braking unit fault' in Frecon Inverter means that the brake line failure or damage the brake pipe, so check the brake unit, replace the brake pipe. Also, an external braking resistor is too small, so increasing the braking resistor.

What does Communication overtime error mean on Frecon FR500A-4T-030G/037PB Inverter?
- J
  Jocelyn McgrathSep 12, 2025
  A 'Communication overtime error' in Frecon Inverter means that PC is not working properly, so check the PC Connection. Also, the communication line is not normal, so check the communication cable. The communication parameters F15 are set incorrectly, so the communication parameters are set correctly.

What does EEPROM read/write fault mean on a Frecon Inverter?
- M
  Melvin WareSep 12, 2025
  An 'EEPROM read/write fault' on a Frecon Inverter indicates that the EEPROM chip is damaged. To resolve this, replace the main control board.

What should I check if my Frecon FR500A-4T-030G/037PB reports Power output phase loss?
- H
  hayneskimberlySep 9, 2025
  If your Frecon Inverter reports a 'Power output phase loss' error, start by checking the cable connecting the AC drive and the motor for any faults and eliminate them. Also, check whether the motor's three-phase winding is normal, as unbalanced AC drive three-phase outputs when the motor is running can cause this issue.

What does Module overheat mean on my Frecon FR500A-4T-030G/037PB and how do I fix it?
- D
  Diane WilliamsSep 7, 2025
  A 'Module overheat' error on your Frecon Inverter indicates that the module is overheating. This could be due to several reasons: the ambient temperature might be too high, so lower it. The air filter might be blocked, so clean it. The fan might be damaged, so replace it. The thermally sensitive resistor of the module might be damaged, so replace it. Or, the inverter module itself might be damaged, so replace it.

How can I fix a Power input phase loss error on my Frecon Inverter?
- T
  Taylor LopezSep 6, 2025
  To address a 'Power input phase loss' error on your Frecon Inverter, first check if the three-phase power input is abnormal and eliminate any external faults.

What to do if my Frecon FR500A-4T-030G/037PB shows Accel overcurrent?
- D
  Deborah YoderAug 21, 2025
  If your Frecon Inverter displays an 'Accel overcurrent' error, it could be due to several reasons. First, check for any grounding or short circuits in the output circuit and eliminate those faults. If the acceleration time is too short, increase it. Also, ensure that your manual torque boost or V/F curve settings are appropriate and adjust them if necessary. Low voltage can also trigger this error, so adjust the voltage to the normal range. If you're starting the motor while it's rotating, either select rotational speed tracking restart or wait for the motor to stop before starting. Remove any sudden loads added during acceleration. Finally, if the AC drive model is too small, select a higher power class AC drive.
