5.2 General troubleshooting 
Status Checking point  Remedy 
Motor runs 
in wrong 
direction 
Is the wiring for the output 
terminals correct? 
Wiring must match U, V, and W terminals of 
the motor. 
Is the wiring for forward and 
reverse signals correct? 
Check for correct wiring. 
The motor 
speed can 
not be 
regulated. 
Is the wiring for the analog 
frequency inputs correct? 
Check for correct wiring. 
Is the setting of operation mode 
correct? 
Check the Frequency 
Source set in parameters 00-05/00-06. 
Is the load too excessive?  Reduce the load. 
Motor 
running 
speed too 
high or too 
low 
Check the motor specifications 
(poles, voltage…) correct? 
Confirm the motor specifications. 
Is the gear ratio correct?  Confirm the gear ratio. 
Is the setting of the highest 
output frequency correct? 
Confirm the highest output frequency 
Motor speed 
varies 
unusually 
Is the load too excessive?  Reduce the load. 
Does the load vary excessively? 
1. Minimize the variation of the load. 
2. Consider increasing the capacities of the 
inverter and the motor. 
Is the input power erratic or is 
there a phase loss ? 
1. Consider adding an AC reactor at the power 
input side if using single-phase power. 
2. Check wiring if using three-phase power. 
Motor can 
not run 
Is the power connected to the 
correct L1(L), L2, and L3(N) 
terminals? 
is the charging indicator lit ? 
1. Is the power applied ?                      
2. Turn the power OFF and then ON again. 
3. Make sure the power voltage is correct.          
4. Make sure screws are secured firmly. 
Is there voltage across the 
output terminals T1, T2, and T3?
Turn the power OFF and then ON again. 
Is overload causing the motor to 
stall? 
Reduce the load so the motor will run. 
Are there any abnormalities in 
the inverter? 
See error descriptions to check wiring and 
correct if necessary. 
Is there a forward or reverse run 
command ? 
Has the analog frequency signal 
been input? 
1. Is analog frequency input signal wiring 
correct? 
2. Is voltage of frequency input correct? 
Is the operation mode setting 
correct? 
Operate through the digital keypad
