Monitoring Trip Events, History, & Conditions
Inverter Fault Detection
The microprocessor in the inverter detects a variety
of fault conditions and latches the event, recording
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
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.
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 (E
n
), or the error code for the past two trip events (E
n-1
and E
n-2
) using the
D09 Trip History function. A listing of error codes is on the next page.
