What should I do if my TEC Inverter displays 'Motor PTC thermistor trip'?
If the TEC Inverter displays 'Motor PTC thermistor trip', it means the connected motor thermistor is over temperature. Check the wiring connections and the motor.
What does it mean when my TEC TECDrive TEC-3 displays 'Over voltage on DC bus' and how can I resolve it?
An 'Over voltage on DC bus' error suggests the supply voltage is outside the allowed tolerance. Verify the supply voltage is within the correct range. If the fault occurs during deceleration or stopping, try increasing the deceleration time or install a suitable brake resistor and activate the dynamic braking function.
What causes a TEC Inverter to trip due to Motor Thermal Overload (I2t)?
The TEC Inverter tripped to prevent damage to the motor because it delivered more than 100% of the value in P-08 for an extended period.
What does it mean when the TEC TECDrive TEC-3 displays 'Under voltage on DC bus'?
An 'Under voltage on DC bus' error indicates that the incoming supply voltage is too low. Check the incoming power supply voltage and all components in the power feed line to the drive.
What should I do if my TEC TECDrive TEC-3 shows a Power stage trip error?
If your TEC Inverter displays a power stage trip error, check for short circuits on the motor and connection cable.
How to fix an Autotune Fault on TEC TECDrive TEC-3?
An autotune fault indicates that the motor parameters measured during autotune are incorrect. Check the motor cable and connections for continuity, and ensure all three phases of the motor are present and balanced.
What does it mean when my TEC Inverter displays 'CANopen comms loss trip'?
A 'CANopen comms loss trip' indicates a communication problem. Check the incoming CAN connection cable and ensure that cyclic communications take place within the timeout limit set in P-36 Index 3.
What to do if TEC TECDrive TEC-3 Inverter shows 'Optibus comms loss'?
If the TEC Inverter displays 'Optibus comms loss', check the communication link between the drive and external devices, and ensure each drive in the network has a unique address.
What to do if TEC TECDrive TEC-3 shows 'DC bus ripple too high'?
If the TEC Inverter displays 'DC bus ripple too high', check that the incoming supply phases are all present and balanced.
