2.4 Fault
108 YASKAWA TOEPYAIGA8001B GA800 Drive Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Code Name Causes Possible Solutions
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.
Note:
• The drive detects this fault if the motor speed is more than the value set in F1-08 for longer than F1-09.
• Do a Fault Reset to clear the fault.
• If the drive detects this fault, it will operate the motor as specified by the Stopping Method set in F1-03 [Overspeed Detection Selection].
Code Name Causes Possible Solutions
ov Overvoltage
The deceleration time is too short and too much
regenerative energy is flowing back into the drive.
• Set L3-04 = 1 [Stall Prevention during Decel = General
Purpose].
• Increase the values set in C1-02, C1-04, C1-06, or C1-08
[Deceleration Times].
• Connect a dynamic braking option to the drive.
• Perform Deceleration Rate Tuning.
The acceleration time is too short. • Make sure that sudden drive acceleration does not cause the
fault.
• Increase the values set in C1-01, C1-03, C1-05, or C1-07
[Acceleration Times].
• Increase the value set in C2-02 [S-Curve Time @ End of Accel].
• Set L3-11 = 1 [Overvoltage Suppression Select = Enabled].
The braking load is too large. Connect a dynamic braking option to the drive.
There are surge voltages in the input power supply. Connect a DC link choke to the drive.
Note:
If you turn the phase advancing capacitors ON and OFF and use
thyristor converters in the same power supply system, there can
be surge voltages that irregularly increase the input voltage.
The drive output cable or motor is shorted to ground
(the current short to ground is charging the main
circuit capacitor of the drive through the power
supply).
1. Examine the motor main circuit cable, terminals, and motor
terminal box, and then remove ground faults.
2. Re-energize the drive.
The speed search-related parameters are set
incorrectly (this fault also occurs during recovery
from momentary power loss and after Auto Restarts).
• Examine the settings for all speed search related parameters.
• Set b3-19 ≠ 0 [Speed Search Restart Attempts ≠ 0 times].
• Adjust b3-03 [Speed Search Deceleration Time].
• Do Stationary Auto-Tuning for Line-to-Line Resistance and set
b3-24 = 1 [Speed Search Method Selection = Speed Estimation].
The power supply voltage is too high. Decrease the power supply voltage to match the drive rated voltage.
The braking resistor or braking resistor unit wiring is
incorrect.
Correct wiring errors in the connection to the braking resistor or
braking resistor unit.
The encoder cable is disconnected or wired
incorrectly.
Examine for wiring errors or disconnected wires in the encoder
cable, and repair problems.
Noise interference along the encoder cable. Isolate the encoder cable from the drive output line or a different
source of electrical interference.
Electrical interference caused a drive malfunction. • Examine the control circuit lines, main circuit lines, and ground
wiring, and decrease the effects of electrical interference.
• Make sure that a magnetic contactor is not the source of the
electrical interference, then use a Surge Protective Device if
necessary.
The load inertia is set incorrectly. • Examine the load inertia settings with KEB, overvoltage
suppression, or stall prevention during deceleration.
• Adjust L3-25 [Load Inertia Ratio] to match the qualities of the
machine.
The Short Circuit Braking function used in OLV/PM
control method.
Connect a braking resistor to the drive.
There is motor hunting. • Adjust n1-02 [Hunting Prevention Gain Setting].
• Adjust n2-02 [Automatic Freq Regulator Time 1] and n2-03
[Automatic Freq Regulator Time 2].
• Adjust n8-45 [Speed Feedback Detection Gain] and n8-47 [Pull-
in Current Comp Filter Time].
