13. Before making a service call - Trip information and remedies
13.1 Trip causes/warnings and remedies
When a problem arises, diagnose it in accordance with the following table.
If it is found that replacement of parts is required or the problem cannot be solved by any remedy described in the table,
contact your supplier.

Description Possible causes Remedies

*
Overcurrent
during
acceleration
• The acceleration time  is too short.
•The V/f setting is improper.
•A restart signal is input to the
rotating motor after a momentary
stop, etc.
•A special motor (e.g. motor with a
small impedance) is used.
• Manual torque boost value
(

)
is lar
g
e.
•Increase the acceleration time .
•Check the V/f parameter setting.
•Use (Auto-restart) and  (Regenerative
power ride-though control).
•Increase the carrier frequency .
•Decrease  setting value.
•Decrease 
(
stall prevention level
)
to 130 as
a guide.
•Increase  (carrier frequency) setting value if it
is set at lower value (2kHz or less).

*
Overcurrent
during
deceleration
•The deceleration time  is too
short. (in deceleration)
•Increase the deceleration time .

*
Overcurrent
during fixed
speed
•The load fluctuates abruptly.
•The load is in an abnormal
condition.
•Reduce the load fluctuation.
•Check the load (operated machine).
[Note] , ,
 originate from
causes other than those
mentioned above.
• A main circuit elements is defective.
•Overheat protection is activated.
•Make a service call.
•Check operation of cooling fan.
•Check cooling fan control mode parameter
.
*
U-phase arm
short-circuit
•A main circuit elements is defective
(U-phase).
•Make a service call.
*
V-phase arm
short-circuit
•A main circuit elements is defective
(V-phase).
•Make a service call.
*
W-phase arm
short-circuit
•A main circuit elements is defective
(W-phase).
•Make a service call.

Loaded side
overcurrent at
start time
•The insulation of the output main
circuit or motor is defective.
•The motor has too small
impedance.
•The drive circuit board in the
inverter was damaged.
•Check the cables and wires for defective
insulation.
•Selection of short circuit detection at starting
parameter .
•If this error message appears when a motor is not
connected to the inverter, the inverter itself ma
y
be
faulty, so make a service call.

•PB-PC/+ circuit is shorted.
•A resistor with resistance smaller
than the minimum allowable
resistance is connected.
•Parameter  was set to  or 
without connecting regenerative
brake or with wire disconnected
(with dynamic braking).
•Check the impedance wirin
g
for the resistor, etc.
•Make a service call.
•Check if regenerative brake is connected.
•If regenerative brake is not necessary, set
parameter  to .
 Overheating
•The cooling fan does not rotate.
•The ambient temperature is too
high.
•The vent is blocked up.
•A heat generating device is
installed close to the inverter.
•The thermistor in the unit is
disconnected.
•Restart the operation b

g
the inverter afte
r
it has cooled down enough.
•The fan requires replacement if it does not rotate
during operation.
•Secure sufficient space around the inverter.
•Do not place any heat generating device near the
inverter.
•Make a service call.

Thermal trip
stop command
from external
device
•An input signal is impressed at
control input terminal PTG for
optional add-on cards.
•A thermal trip command (input
terminal function:  or ) is
issued by an external control
device.
•The motor is overheated, so check whether the
current flowing into the motor exceeds the rated
current.
* In the event one of the error codes  to  and  to  appears, in which case a main circuit
component has most probably failed, the only way to reset the inverter is to turn power off and back on.
