Appendix A — Fault Codes
When a fault is detected by the inverter control electronics, the drive is stopped and the
symbol F together with the ordinal number of the fault, the fault code and a short fault
description appear on the display. The fault can be reset with the RESET button on the
control keypad or via the I/O terminal. The faults are stored in the Fault History Menu M5,
which can be browsed. Table A-1 contains all the fault codes.
Table A-1: Fault Codes
ᕃ Programmable.
Fault
Code Fault
Possible Cause Solution
1 Overcurrent Inverter detected too high a current
(>4 x I
n ) in the motor cable:
• Sudden heavy load increase
• Short circuit in the motor
• Unsuitable motor
Check loading.
Check motor.
Check cables.
2 Overvoltage The DC link voltage exceeded the
defined limits:
• Deceleration time too short
• High overvoltage spikes in supply Set the deceleration time longer.
Add a brake chopper or brake
resistor.
3 Ground Fault ᕃ Current measurement has detected
that the sum of motor phase currents
is not zero.
• Insulation failure in cables or
motor
Check motor cable and motor.
5 Charging Switch Charging switch is open, when the
START command is given:
• Faulty operation
• Component failure Reset the fault and restart.
Should the fault re-occur, contact
your Cutler-Hammer distributor.
6 Emergency Stop Stop signal was given from the
option board.
7 Saturation Trip Various causes:
• Component failure
• Brake resistor is short circuited or
overloaded
Cannot be reset from the keypad.
Switch off the power.
DO NOT RE-CONNECT POWER.
Contact Eaton.
If this fault appears simultaneously
with Fault 1, check motor cables and
motor.
8 System Fault
• Component failure
• Faulty operation
Note: See exceptional fault data
record on Page 5-12.
Reset the fault and restart.
Should the fault re-occur, contact
your Cutler-Hammer distributor.
