Why does my Invertek Controller motor thermal overload protection trip?
- Z
  zbautistaAug 21, 2025
  If the Invertek Controller's motor thermal overload protection trips, make sure the correct motor nameplate current value is entered in P-08. Verify the Star or Delta wiring configuration is correct. Check if the decimal points are flashing (indicating the output current exceeds the P-08 value) and, if so, either increase the acceleration ramp (P-03) or decrease the motor load. Also, confirm that the total motor cable length is within the drive's specification and that the load is mechanically free from jams, blockages, or other mechanical faults.

How to fix over voltage on DC bus in Invertek Controller?
- K
  karenmeyersAug 23, 2025
  If the Invertek Controller experiences an overvoltage on the DC bus, verify that the supply voltage is within the drive's allowed tolerance. If the fault arises during deceleration or stopping, try increasing the deceleration time in P-04 or installing a suitable brake resistor and activating the dynamic braking function with P-34.

What to do if Invertek Controller shows heatsink over temperature?
- S
  Sherry PatelAug 26, 2025
  If the Invertek Controller indicates a heatsink over temperature, ensure the ambient temperature around the drive is within the specified limits. Make sure that sufficient cooling air can circulate freely around the drive, increasing panel ventilation if needed. Confirm that the bottom entry and top exit vents are not blocked or obstructed, allowing adequate cooling air to enter the drive.

How to troubleshoot hardware over current in Invertek Controller?
- C
  christopher87Aug 28, 2025
  If the Invertek Controller reports a hardware over current, check the motor wiring and the motor itself for phase-to-phase and phase-to-earth short circuits. Disconnect the motor and motor cable, then retest the drive. If the drive trips without the motor connected, it needs replacement, and the system should be thoroughly checked and retested before installing a replacement unit.

What causes brake resistor thermal overload in Invertek Controller?
- S
  simmonsjessicaAug 30, 2025
  If the Invertek Controller displays a brake resistor thermal overload, and you're using an Invertek standard braking resistor, P-34 MUST be set to 1. Increase the deceleration time (P-04) or the 2nd deceleration time (P-24). Reduce the load inertia. If using other brake resistors, ensure the resistance is equal to or greater than the minimum value specified for the drive. Consider using an external thermal protection device for the brake resistor, in which case P-34 may be set to 2.

Why does my Invertek Controller show under voltage on DC bus?
- A
  alexandrawiseSep 1, 2025
  If the Invertek Controller shows an under voltage on the DC bus, it means the incoming supply voltage is too low. This trip typically occurs when power is removed from the drive. If it happens during operation, check the incoming power supply voltage and all components in the power feed line to the drive.

What to do if Invertek Controller displays brake channel over current?
- K
  Katrina Williams DVMSep 3, 2025
  To address a brake channel over current (excessive current in the brake resistor) in the Invertek Controller, inspect the cabling to the brake resistor and the brake resistor itself for any signs of short circuits or damage. Ensure that the resistance of the brake resistor is equal to or greater than the minimum value specified for the drive.

Why does my Invertek Controller show under temperature?
- R
  Rebecca MorganSep 5, 2025
  If the Invertek Controller trips due to an under temperature condition, this occurs when the ambient temperature is less than -10°C. The temperature must be raised above -10°C to start the drive.

How to fix comms loss trip on Invertek Controller?
- A
  aliciataylorSep 7, 2025
  If the Invertek Controller experiences a comms loss trip, check the communication link between the drive and any external devices. Ensure that each drive in the network has a unique address.

What does input phase loss trip mean on Invertek Controller?
- J
  jameschambersSep 10, 2025
  If the Invertek Controller experiences an input phase loss trip, it indicates that the drive, which is intended for use with a 3-phase supply, has lost one of its input phases.
