Monitoring Trip Events, History, & Conditions

Inverter Fault Detection

	The microprocessor in the inverter detects a variety
	of fault conditions and latches the event, recording	Run
	it in a history table. The inverter output turns off, or	Run
	it in a history table. The inverter output turns off, or
	“trips” similar to the way a circuit breaker trips due

to an over-current condition. Most faults occur

Fault

when the motor is running (refer to the diagram to the right). However, the inverter could have an internal fault and trip in Stop Mode. In either case, you can clear the fault by pressing the Stop/Reset key.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

We recommend that you first find the cause of the fault before clearing it. When a fault occurs, the inverter stores important performance data at the moment of the fault. To access the data, use the monitor functions (Dxx) and select D08 for details about the present fault (En), or the error code for the past two trip events (En-1and En-2) using the D09 Trip History function. A listing of error codes is on the next page.
