    What causes E01 DC Link Overvoltage in WEG Inverters and how to fix it?
    • L
      Lauren ReyesAug 19, 2025
      The E01 error on your WEG Inverter indicates a DC Link Overvoltage. This can be due to: * Power supply voltage being too high: Check and adjust the power supply voltage. * Load inertia being too high or deceleration ramp too short: Adjust the load inertia or deceleration ramp settings. * P151 setting being too high: Lower the setting of P151.

    Why does my WEG Inverter show E04 Inverter Overtemperature and how can I resolve it?
    • C
      Carol WallAug 23, 2025
      The E04 error on a WEG Inverter signals an overtemperature condition. This can occur if: * The ambient temperature is too high (above 40°C) or the output current is too high: Ensure the ambient temperature is below 40°C and lower the output current. * The blower is locked or defective: Check, repair, or replace the blower.
