Code Name Causes Possible Solutions
oC Overcurrent
The load is too heavy. • Measure the current flowing into the motor.
• Replace the drive with a larger capacity model if the current
value is more than the drive rated current.
• Decrease the load or replace with a larger drive to prevent
sudden changes in the current level.
Overheating caused damage to the motor or the motor
insulation is not satisfactory.
Measure the motor insulation resistance, and replace the motor if
there is electrical conduction or unserviceable insulation.
The motor main circuit cable is contacting ground to
make a short circuit.
• Examine the motor main circuit cable for damage, and repair
short circuits.
• Measure the resistance between the motor main circuit cable and
the ground terminal. If there is electrical conduction, replace the
cable.
A short circuit or ground fault on the drive output
side caused damage to the output transistor of the
drive.
• Make sure that there is not a short circuit in terminal B1 and
terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3. Make sure that there is not a
short circuit in terminals - and terminals U/T1, V/T2, and W/T3.
• If there is a short circuit, contact Yaskawa or your nearest sales
representative.
The acceleration time is too short. • Calculate the torque necessary during acceleration related to the
load inertia and the specified acceleration time.
• Increase the values set in C1-01, C1-03, C1-05, or C1-07
[Acceleration Times] to get the necessary torque.
• Increase the values set in C2-01 to C2-04 [S-Curve
Characteristics] to get the necessary torque.
• Replace the drive with a larger capacity model.
The drive is trying to operate a specialized motor or a
motor that is larger than the maximum applicable
motor output of the drive.
• Examine the motor nameplate, the motor, and the drive to make
sure that the drive rated current is larger than the motor rated
current.
• Replace the drive with a larger capacity model.
A magnetic contactor was switched at the output. Set the operation sequence to not turn ON or OFF the magnetic
contactor while the drive is outputting voltage.
The V/f pattern settings are incorrect. • Examine the ratios between the V/f pattern frequency and
voltage. Decrease the voltage if it is too high compared to the
frequency.
• Adjust E1-04 to E1-10 [V/f Pattern Parameters]. For motor 2,
adjust E3-04 to E3-10.
The torque compensation gain is too large. Decrease the value set in C4-01 [Torque Compensation Gain] to
make sure that the motor does not stall.
Electrical interference caused a problem. Examine the control circuit lines, main circuit lines, and ground
wiring, and decrease the effects of electrical interference.
The gain during overexcitation operation is too large. • Find the time when the fault occurs.
• If the fault occurs at the same time as overexcitation operation,
decrease the value set in n3-13 [OverexcitationBraking (OEB)
Gain] and consider the motor flux saturation.
The drive received a Run command while the motor
was coasting.
• Examine the sequence and input the Run command after the
motor fully stops.
• Set b3-01 = 1 [Speed Search at Start Selection = Enabled] or set
H1-xx = 61, 62 [Speed Search from Fmax or Fref] to input speed
search commands from the MFDI terminals.
In PM Control Methods, the setting of the motor code
is incorrect.
• Enter the correct motor code to E5-01 [PM Motor Code
Selection] as specified by the PM motor.
• For specialized motors, refer to the motor test report and set E5-
xx [PM Motor Settings] correctly.
If the drive detects the fault at start or in the low
speed range (10% or less) and n8-57 = 1 [HFI
Overlap Selection = Enabled] for PM Control
methods, the high frequency injection gain is too
high.
• Set E5-xx [PM Motor Parameters] correctly or do Rotational
Auto-Tuning.
• Decrease the value of n8-41 [HFI P Gain] in 0.5-unit
increments.
Note:
Set n8-41 > 0.0 for IPM motors.
The control method is set incorrectly for the motor. Set A1-02 [Control Method Selection] correctly.
The motor main circuit cable is too long. • Replace the drive with a larger capacity model.
• Decrease C6-02 [Carrier Frequency]. Or set C6-02 = B.
Speed search does not complete at start when you set
A1-02 = 8 [EZ Vector Control] and use an induction
motor.
When E9-01 = 0 [Motor Type Selection = Induction (IM)], set b3-
24 = 2 [Speed Search Method Selection = Current Detection Speed
Search].
An overcurrent occurred during overexcitation
deceleration.
• Decrease the value set in n3-13 [OverexcitationBraking (OEB)
Gain].
• Decrease the value set in n3-21 [HSB Current Suppression
Level].
