    Why is a signal being input to the frequency reference terminal A2 or A3 on YASKAWA Inverter?
    • J
      Jeffrey JacksonSep 23, 2025
      When 0 (frequency reference) is set for constant H3-09 (Multi-function Analog Input Terminal A2 Function Selection) or H3-05 (Multi-function Analog Input Terminal A3 Function Selection) on YASKAWA Inverter, a frequency corresponding to the terminal A2 or A3 input voltage (current) is added to the frequency reference. Check to be sure that the set value and analog input value are suitable.

    How to fix OV DC Bus Overvolt on YASKAWA Inverter?
    • T
      Tonya NguyenAug 25, 2025
      If your YASKAWA Inverter shows an OV DC Bus Overvolt error, it could be due to: the deceleration time being set too short, causing excessive regenerative energy from the motor, or the power supply voltage being too high. To fix this, increase the deceleration time (C1-02/04/06/08) or connect a braking option. Also, check the power supply and decrease the voltage to meet the inverter’s specifications.

    How to troubleshoot GF Ground Fault on YASKAWA Inverter?
    • M
      Michael MooreAug 26, 2025
      If your YASKAWA Inverter is showing a GF Ground Fault error, it might be because one of the Inverter outputs is shorted to ground, or a DCCT is defective. To troubleshoot this, remove the motor and run the Inverter without the motor. Check the motor for a phase to ground short. Also, check the output current with a clampmeter to verify the DCCT reading.

    What to do if YASKAWA Varispeed f7 displays PUF DC Bus Fuse Open?
    • C
      Cindy WilliamsAug 27, 2025
      If the YASKAWA Inverter displays a PUF DC Bus Fuse Open error, it could be due to shorted output transistors or terminals. Check the motor and the motor cables for short circuits or insulation failures (phase-to-phase). Replace the inverter after correcting the fault.

    How to fix overcurrent in YASKAWA Varispeed f7?
    • K
      Kelly HillAug 27, 2025
      If the YASKAWA Inverter output current exceeds the overcurrent detection level (200% of rated current), it may be due to a short-circuit or ground fault at the Inverter output (caused by motor burn damage, worn insulation, or a damaged cable), an excessively large load, too short acceleration/deceleration time, a special-purpose motor or one with excessive capacity, or switching a magnetic switch at the Inverter output. After addressing the cause, reset the fault.

    What causes overspeed on YASKAWA Varispeed f7?
    • B
      Brian ShepardSep 14, 2025
      If the YASKAWA Inverter detects an overspeed, where the speed has been greater than the setting in F1-08 for longer than the setting in F1-09, it could be due to overshooting/undershooting, in which case you should adjust the gain again. Alternatively, the reference speed may be too high, so check the reference circuit and reference gain. Lastly, the settings in F1-08 and F1-09 might not be appropriate, so check them.

    How to fix overtorque detected 2 on YASKAWA Inverter?
    • J
      Jack CaldwellSep 12, 2025
      If the YASKAWA Inverter detects an overtorque (Detected 2), where there has been a current greater than the setting in L6-05 for longer than the setting in L6-06, make sure that the current setting in L6-05 and time setting in L6-06 are appropriate. Check the mechanical system and correct the cause of the overtorque.

    What to do if YASKAWA Varispeed f7 Inverter shows High-slip Braking OL?
    • O
      ojohnsonSep 13, 2025
      If the YASKAWA Inverter shows High-slip Braking OL, and the output frequency did not change for longer than the time set in N3-04, make sure the load is an inertial load. Set the system so that the deceleration time that does not produce OV is the value of N3-04 or less.

    What to do for control power fault in YASKAWA Varispeed f7 Inverter?
    • C
      Christopher JohnsonSep 5, 2025
      If a YASKAWA Inverter detects a control power fault, where the control power supply voltage has dropped, first fix the wiring. If this doesn't solve the issue, try turning the power supply off and on. If the fault persists, replace the Inverter.

    What causes main circuit undervoltage in YASKAWA Inverter?
    • S
      Sandra MoralesSep 2, 2025
      If the YASKAWA Inverter's main circuit DC voltage is below the Undervoltage Detection Level, it could be due to an open-phase with the input power supply, a momentary power loss, loose wiring terminals for the input power supply, excessive voltage fluctuations in the input power supply, or a fault in the surge prevention circuit. Reset the fault after correcting its cause.
