Overcurrent
Protects the Drive when the output current reaches the
momentary overcurrent protection level.
The protection is effective for Drive output terminals- U, V, W.

Ground Fault
Grounded output. The protecction is effective for Drive output
terminals - U, V, W.

Over voltage
Protects the Drive when the DC bus voltage reaches the
momentary overvoltage protection level by a braking operation.
(Drive cannot protect against an input line overvoltage.)

X
Under voltage
Protects the Drive when the DC bus voltage reaches the
momentary low voltage protection level. Output alarm relay
(30a, b & c) is dependent on function.

Over heat
Protects the Drive against overheating caused by
overload operation, cooling fan failure, abnormal high ambient
temperatures, etc.

Inside fuse
Detects the DC bus failed fuse, 15 Hp and above.
F U S

External
Stops Drive by an external alarm signal.
O H 2
X
Memory error
Detects memory EE-PROM malfunction.
E r 1
X
Keypad
communication
Detects a continuous communication error between
control PCB and keypad panel.
E r 2
X
CPU error
Detection of a CPU malfunction.
E r 3
X
Option
communication
Detects a continuous communication error between
control PCB and option PCB.
E r 4
X
Option error
Detects Drive option failure.
E r 5

Operating
Proc. Error
Detects Drive operating procedure error during Drive startup.
FWD or REV connected to terminal CM at time of main power
being applied to Drive. Stop keypad in remote operation.
E r 6
X
Tuning error
Detects missing connection to the motor @ auto-tune.
E r 7
X
Prevent
stall
Prevents OC-trip by ceasing frequency output at high current when
torque limit is disabled and drive is accelerating, or when high impact
loads are applied to the motor. Second, by decreasing frequency
level when torque limit is activated and its value is being exceeded
during steady state operation and load acceleration.
