• Identify Fault Codes: Check the display for codes like OC (Overcurrent), OL (Overload), or UV (Undervoltage).
• Check Input/Output Power: Measure line-to-line voltage to ensure input power is balanced within 5%. Use a clamp meter to measure output current to the motor.
• Check Diode Bridge/IGBTs: Use a multimeter in diode mode to check the DC bus positive and negative terminals against the input (R,S,T) and output (U,V,W) terminals to identify failed input bridges or output transistors.
• Inspect Environment & Cooling: Clean air filters and ensure cooling fans are operational.
• 2. Overload Relay Troubleshooting
• Check Settings: Confirm the overload relay setting matches the motor's FLA (Full Load Amperage) listed on the nameplate.
• Check for Nuisance Tripping: If the relay trips immediately, it may be set too low or not properly sized.
