Description
Action
Auxiliary 
Input
2
➀
Auxiliary input interlock is open.
Check remote wiring.
Decel Inhibit
24
➂
The drive is not following a commanded 
deceleration because it is attempting to 
limit bus voltage.
1. Verify input voltage is within drive
specified limits.
2. Verify system ground impedance
follows proper grounding techniques.
3. Disable bus regulation and/or add
dynamic brake resistor and/or extend 
deceleration time. Refer to 
page 6
for
further info.
4. Disable with parameter 238.
FluxAmpsRef 
Rang
78
The value for flux amps determined by the 
Autotune procedure exceeds the 
programmed [Motor NP FLA], parameter 
042.
1. Reprogram [Motor NP FLA] with the
correct motor nameplate value.
2. Repeat Autotune.
HW 
OverCurrent
12
➀
The drive output current has exceeded the 
hardware current limit.
Check programming. Check for excess load, 
improper DC boost setting, DC brake volts 
set too high or other causes of excess 
current.
IR Volts 
Range
77
“Calculate” is the autotune default and the 
value determined by the autotune 
procedure for IR Drop Volts is not in the 
range of acceptable values.
Re-enter motor nameplate data.
Motor 
Overload
7
➀
 
➂
Internal electronic overload trip.
Enable/Disable with [Fault Config 1].
An excessive motor load exists. Reduce 
load so drive output current does not 
exceed the current set by [Motor NP FLA].
OverSpeed 
Limit
25
➀
Functions such as Slip Compensation or Bus 
Regulation have attempted to add an 
output frequency adjustment greater than 
that programmed in [Overspeed Limit], 
parameter 083.
Remove excessive load or overhauling 
conditions or increase [Overspeed Limit].
OverVoltage
5
➀
DC bus voltage exceeded maximum value.
Monitor the AC line for high line voltage or 
transient conditions. Bus overvoltage can 
also be caused by motor regeneration. 
Extend the decel time or install dynamic 
brake option.
SW 
OverCurrent
36
➀
Drive output current has exceeded the 1ms 
current rating. This rating is greater than the 
3 second current rating and less than the 
hardware overcurrent fault level. It is 
typically 200…250% of the drive 
continuous rating.
Check for excess load, improper DC boost 
setting. DC brake volts set too high.
