Fault
RUN
The microprocessor in the inverter detects a
variety of fault conditions and captures the event,
recording it in a history table. The inverter output
turns OFF, or “trips” similar to the way a circuit
breaker trips due to an over-current condition.
Most faults occur when the motor is running (refer
to the diagram to the right). However, the inverter
could have an internal fault and trip in Stop Mode.
In either case, you can clear the fault by pressing
the Stop/Reset key. Additionally, you can clear the
inverter’s cumulative trip history by performing
the procedure “Restoring Factory Default Settings”
on page 6–8 (setting B084=00 will clear the trip
history but leave inverter settings intact).
Fault
Error Codes
An error code will appear on the display automatically when a fault causes the inverter
to trip. The following table lists the cause associated with the error.
Erro
Code
Name Cause(s)
E01
Over-current event while at
constant speed
The inverter output was short-circuited, or the
motor shaft is locked or has a heavy load. These
conditions cause excessive current for the inverter,
so the inverter output is turned OFF.
The dual-voltage motor is wired incorrectly.
E02
Over-current event during
deceleration
E03
Over-current event during
acceleration
E04
Over-current event during
other conditions
E05
Overload protection When a motor overload is detected by the
electronic thermal function, the inverter trips and
turns OFF its output.
E06
Braking resistor overload
protection
When the BRD operation rate exceeds
the setting of "b090", this protective
function shuts off the inverter output and
displays the error code.
E07
Over-voltage protection When the DC bus voltage exceeds a threshold, due
to regenerative energy from the motor.
E08
EEPROM error When the built-in EEPROM memory has problems
due to noise or excessive temperature, the inverter
trips and turns OFF its output to the motor.
E09
Under-voltage error A decrease of internal DC bus voltage below a
threshold results in a control circuit fault. This
condition can also generate excessive motor heat or
cause low torque. The inverter trips and turns OFF
its output.
E10
Current detection error If an error occurs in the internal current
detection system, the inverter will shut off its
output and display the error code.
