Most faults occur when the motor is running (refer

could have an internal fault and trip in Stop Mode.

In either case, you can clear the fault by pressing

 

 

 

the Stop/Reset key. Additionally, you can clear the

 

 

 

inverter’s cumulative trip history by performing the procedure “Restoring Factory Default Settings” on page 6–9 (setting B_84=00 will clear the trip history but leave inverter settings intact).

The conditions at the time of an error provide important clues to help you understand the cause. The SJ300 inverter displays a “status at trip point” digit to the right of the decimal point for some error codes. For example, E07.2 means Error 7 occurred and the inverter status was condition # “2” when the error occurred.

An error code will appear on the display automatically when a fault causes the inverter to trip. The following table lists the cause associated with the error.
