Severe B+ Undervoltage
Severe_B_Plus_Undervoltage
0x2120
Fault Type(s):
1 = Undervoltage cutback
(0x343B = 0%) or capacitor
voltage below safe limits
for 64ms.
2 = Commanded voltage could
not be achieved due to low
capacitor voltage, see also
phase PWM mismatch.
1. Non-controller system drain
on battery.
2. Battery resistance too high.
3. Battery disconnected while driving.
4. Blown B+ fuse or main contactor
did not close.
5. Battery parameters are misadjusted.
6. See Programmer » Monitor menu »
Controller » Capacitor Voltage.
7. See the Voltage Limits in Chapter 3.
Set: When Main is closed and
the FET Bridge is enabled,
either the undervoltage drive
current cut back = 0% for 64
ms or the Brownout Voltage
is reached.
Clear: Undervoltage drive
current cut back > 0% for 100
ms and capacitor voltage >
brownout voltage.
No drive torque.
