10-9 Trips & Fault Finding    
AC30V series Variable Speed Drive 
Autotune Alerts 
If the autotune fails to complete for any reason, an alert will be displayed and the autotune abandoned.  Alerts are as follows: 
LEAKAGE L TIMEOUT  The autotune has attempted to determine 
the leakage inductance of the motor, but 
cannot make the required test current. 
Problem with motor connection. 
MOTOR TURNING ERROR  The autotune is trying to find the encoder 
direction by spinning the motor, but the 
motor is already spinning. 
Wait till the motor stops. 
NEGATIVE SLIP FREQ  Autotune has calculated a negative slip 
frequency, which is not valid. Nameplate 
rpm may have been set to a value higher 
than the base speed of the motor. 
Check nameplate rpm, base frequency, and pole pairs 
are correct. 
TR TOO LARGE  The calculated value of rotor time 
constant is too large.  
Check the values of Nameplate Speed and Base 
Frequency. 
TR TOO SMALL  The calculated value of rotor time 
constant is too small. 
Check the values of Nameplate Speed and Base 
Frequency. 
MAX SPEED TOO LOW  During Autotune the motor is required to 
run at the nameplate speed of the motor. 
If 100% Speed in RPM parameter limits 
the speed to less than this value, an error 
will be reported. 
Increase the value of 100% Speed in RPM parameter up 
to the nameplate rpm of the motor (as a minimum). It 
may be reduced, if required, after the Autotune is 
complete. 
SUPPLY VOLTS LOW  The autotune will compensate for low 
supply volts, down to 70% of motor rated 
volts.  Below this value it will stop the 
autotune and raise an alert. 
Re-try when mains volts are within specification. 
NOT AT SPEED  The motor was unable to reach the 
required speed to carry out the Autotune. 
Possible reasons include: motor shaft not free to turn; 
the motor data is incorrect. 
MAG CURRENT ERROR  It was not possible to find a suitable value 
of magnetising current to achieve the 
required operating condition for the 
motor. 
Check the motor data is correct, especially nameplate 
rpm and motor volts. Also check that the motor is 
correctly rated for the drive.
