    How to fix DC link overvoltage alarm on Gefran Inverter?
    • J
      Jennifer WolfAug 15, 2025
      To resolve a DC link overvoltage alarm on your Gefran Inverter due to energy recovered from the motor, try extending the deceleration ramp. Alternatively, use a braking resistor connected to the appropriate terminals to dissipate the energy.

    Why is my Gefran Inverter showing a DC link undervoltage alarm?
    • M
      Ms. Tracy AndersonAug 18, 2025
      If your Gefran Inverter shows a DC link undervoltage alarm, the issue might be due to mains voltage being too low or overextended voltage drops, or poor cable connections. Check the connections and the mains voltage to resolve this.

    What should I do if my Gefran Inverter displays an IGBT module temperature too high or too low alarm?
    • W
      William HerreraAug 30, 2025
      If your Gefran Inverter shows an IGBT module temperature alarm (too high or too low), verify the cooling fan's operation. Check that the heatsinks are not clogged and that the openings for the cabinet cooling air are not blocked.

    Why does my Gefran Inverter show a motor overtemperature alarm?
    • J
      James LeeSep 2, 2025
      If your Gefran Inverter is alarming due to a motor overtemperature, consider that the load cycle may be too heavy, the ambient temperature may be too high, or the motor's cooling fan may not be working. Change the processing cycle or use a cooling fan to cool the motor.

    What does instantaneous overcurrent in IGBT bridge alarm mean on my Gefran Inverter?
    • D
      Dr. Shawn WilliamsSep 8, 2025
      If your Gefran Inverter is experiencing an instantaneous overcurrent in the IGBT bridge alarm, try switching the drive off and then on again. Check the condition of the braking resistor isolation, ensuring there are no earth leakages. If the alarm persists, it is recommended to contact the technical service center.

    What to do if my Gefran Inverter displays a drive overload alarm?
    • A
      awrightSep 12, 2025
      If your Gefran Inverter displays a drive overload alarm, it means the inverter output current has exceeded the allowed overload value or the overload cycle has exceeded the allowed values. Check that the load is not excessive and that the overload cycle is within allowed limits.
