OVERSPEED
Motor overspeed - the speed feedback signal has exceeded 125% of rated speed.
MISSING PULSE
A missing pulse from the 6-pulse armature current waveform. Trips when the motor loading exceeds 1.5 times the DISCONTINUOUS parameter value. Note that the MISSING PULSE trip is not intended or able to protect the drive if a thyristor fails to function during regenerative operation. This can result in damage to the drive. We recommend fusing the armature circuit if regenerative operation is intended. The MISSING PULSE trip is intended to detect firing circuit connector problems during motoring operation of the drive.
FIELD OVER I
The motor field current has exceeded 120% of the calibrated value
HEATSINK TRIP
The Converter heatsink temperature is too high
THERMISTOR
The motor temperature is too high
OVERVOLTS (VA)
Motor armature voltage has exceeded 120% of rated volts
SPEED FEEDBACK
The difference between speed feedback and armature voltage feedback is greater than the SPDFBK ALM LEVEL parameter value. If FLD WEAK ENABLE parameter is enabled, speed feedback is less than 10% when in the field weakening region
ENCODER FAILED
No speed feedback signal
FIELD FAIL
Field current is less than 6% of rated current when in Current Control mode. Field current is less than 50mA when in Voltage Control mode (with default current burden of 15K)
3-PHASE FAILED
3-phase supply failure
PHASE LOCK
Supply frequency is outside the frequency band limits 45 - 65Hz
5703 RCV ERROR
Invalid data received via P3 port from another Converter
STALL TRIP
With motor stationary (AT ZERO SPEED parameter shows TRUE), current has exceeded the STALL THRESHOLD parameter value for longer than the STALL TRIP DELAY parameter value
OVER I TRIP
Current feedback value has exceeded 280% of rated current
ACCTS FAILED
AC current transformer plug connection to Converter power board missing
AUTOTUNE ERROR
Speed feedback has exceeded 20% of rated speed, or current field feedback has exceeded 6% of rated field current
AUTOTUNE ABORT
The Autotune sequence has been aborted.
0xF003
Pre-Ready Fault
0xFF03
Aux Power Fail
(EEPROM) CHECKSUM FAIL
Parameters not saved, or are corrupted.
ENABLE CONFIG.
The ENABLE CONFIG. parameter has been left in the Enable state.
LANGUAGE CHECKSUM FAIL
Incorrect language selected, or corrupted
INIT CAL FAIL
Self calibration of analog inputs has exceeded normal tolerance
IA FBK CAL FAIL / IA INST CAL FAIL
The self calibration of the armature current has failed
Converter will not power-up
Fuse blown. Faulty cabling.
Converter fuse keeps blowing
Faulty cabling or connections wrong. Faulty Converter .
Cannot obtain HEALTH state
Incorrect or no supply available
Motor will not run at switch on
Motor jammed
Motor runs and stops
Motor becomes jammed
Motor runs at full speed only
Reversed tachogenerator or open circuit tachogenerator

About Drive Fault Codes

Both AC Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and DC Drives display fault codes when they encounter operational issues. These codes help technicians diagnose and resolve problems quickly. This tool provides fault codes, descriptions, causes, and solutions for various drive manufacturers and models.

If you can't find your specific drive model or the fault code you're experiencing, please refer to the manufacturer's documentation or contact technical support.

Understanding Drive Fault Codes

What are Drive Fault Codes?

Drive fault codes are diagnostic messages displayed by AC and DC drives to indicate specific errors or malfunctions. These codes are essential for troubleshooting and maintaining industrial motor control systems. Each manufacturer uses unique code formats, but they generally point to similar issues like overvoltage, undervoltage, overcurrent, overheating, or communication failures.

Common Drive Types

AC Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)

VFDs control AC motors by adjusting frequency and voltage to regulate motor speed and torque. They are widely used in applications requiring variable speed control with energy efficiency.

  • Control both speed and torque
  • Energy-efficient operation
  • Smooth acceleration/deceleration
  • Regenerative braking capabilities

DC Drives

DC drives control DC motors by adjusting the armature voltage and sometimes the field current. They excel in applications requiring high starting torque and precise speed control.

  • High starting torque
  • Simple control architecture
  • Wide speed range control
  • Quick response to command changes

Common Drive Fault Categories

Power-Related Faults

  • Input phase loss
  • Overvoltage during acceleration/deceleration
  • Undervoltage conditions
  • DC bus voltage issues

Thermal Faults

  • Drive overheating
  • Motor overtemperature
  • Heatsink thermal issues
  • Cooling system failures

Communication Faults

  • Fieldbus communication errors
  • Serial communication timeout
  • Network connection issues
  • Protocol compatibility problems

Motor/Load Faults

  • Motor overload
  • Output phase loss
  • Overcurrent during acceleration
  • Ground/earth faults

Troubleshooting Best Practices

When troubleshooting drive fault codes, always follow these best practices:

  1. Document the exact fault code and conditions when it occurred
  2. Check for simple issues first (loose connections, overloaded motor)
  3. Verify input power quality and stability
  4. Inspect the motor and load for mechanical issues
  5. Examine environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, dust)
  6. Consult manufacturer documentation for specific guidance
