Operation
Output is
turned OFF
and motor
coasts to a
stop.
OC (Overcurrent)
Inverter output current mo-
mentarily exceeded approx.
250% of rated current.
Operation is restored, if no
fault is found, after confirming
the following:
• Short circuit or grounding
at Inverter output side
• Excessive load GD
2
• Extremely rapid
Acceleration/Deceleration
Time (constants n019 to
n022)
• Special motor used
• Starting motor during
coasting
• Motor of a capacity
greater than the Inverter
rating has been started.
• Magnetic contactor
opened/closed at the
Inverter output side
• Leak current increased
because of excessively
long wiring
Note: Before turning the pow-
er ON again, make sure that
no short-circuit or ground fault
occurs at the Inverter output.
GF (Grounding)
*1 *2
Grounding current exceeded
approx. 50%
of Inverter rated output cur-
rent at the Inverter output
side.
Inverter output grounded.
⇓
Check the cause, and re-
store the operation.
Note: Before turning the
power ON again, make sure
that no short-circuit or
ground fault occurs at the In-
verter output.
SC (Load shortcircuit)
*1
Inverter output or load short-
circuited.
Inverter output shortcircuit-
ed or grounded.
⇓
Check the cause, and re-
store the operation.
* 1. Indicates that an Inverter of 5.5 kW and 7.5 kW (200 V and 400 V Classes) is attached.
* 2. The ground fault here is one which occurs in the motor wiring while the motor is running. A ground fault
may not be detected in the following cases.
• A ground fault with low resistance which occurs in motor cables or terminals.
• A ground fault occurs when the power is turned ON.
