5.2 General troubleshooting 
Status Checking point  Remedy 
Is power applied to L1, L2, and L3 terminals (is 
the charging indicator lit)? 
‧Is the power applied? 
‧Turn the power OFF and then ON again.
‧Make sure the power voltage is correct. 
‧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? 
Is forward or reverse run command issued? 
‧See error descriptions to check wiring 
and correct if necessary. 
Has the analog frequency signal been input? 
‧ Is analog frequency input signal wiring 
correct? 
‧Is voltage of frequency input correct? 
Motor can 
not run 
Is the operation mode setting correct? 
‧Operate through the digital keypad . 
Are wiring for output terminals T1, T2, and T3 
correct? 
‧Wiring must match U, V, and W 
terminals of the motor. 
Motor runs 
in wrong 
direction 
Are wiring for forward and reverse signals 
correct? 
‧Check for correct wiring.  
Is the wiring for the analog frequency inputs 
correct? 
‧Check  for correct wiring.  
Is the setting of operation mode correct? 
‧Check the operation mode of the 
operator. 
The motor 
speed can 
not be 
regulated. 
Is the load too excessive?  ‧Reduce the load. 
Check the motor specifications (poles, 
voltage…) correct? 
‧Confirm the motor specifications. 
Is the gear ratio correct?  ‧Confirm the gear ratio. 
Motor 
running 
speed too 
high or too 
low 
Is the setting of the highest output frequency 
correct? 
‧Confirm the highest output frequency. 
Is the load too excessive?  ‧Reduce the load. 
Does the load vary excessively? 
‧Minimize the variation of the load. 
‧Increase capacities of the inverter and the 
motor. 
Motor speed 
varies 
unusually 
Is the input power erratic or is a phase loss 
occurring? 
‧Add an AC reactor at the power input 
side if using single-phase power. 
‧Check wiring if using three-phase power.
