Issue:
Troubleshooting an Altivar Machine Drive with an Output Phase Fault, OPF1 or OPF2.
Product Line:
Altivar Machine Drive ATV12, ATV320, ATV340
Environment:
All serial numbers for Altivar Machine Drive
Cause:
N/A
Resolution:
[Single Output Phase Loss] OPF1
Principle:
- This fault appears when one motor phase is lost at the output of the inverter
- Loss of a phase at the output of the inverter
- Current is too low while running. Especially when starting and stopping where the frequency is lower.
- Check the connections between the inverter and the motor
- Check output current for an imbalance in one phase
[Output Phase Loss] OPF2
Principle:
- This fault appears when 3 motor phases are lost at the output of the inverter.
- Motor not connected or motor output power is too low.
- Motor or drive output contactor is open.
- Unstable motor currents.
- Check the connections between the inverter and motor.
- If using a motor contactor set parameter OPL (motor phase loss) to OAC or turn off OPL and use separate motor overloads
- To turn off OPL: [Complete settings] [Error/Warning handling] [OutPhase loss Assign]
- Test drive with no motor. Turn off OPL and run drive open circuit and test voltage on output for balancing
- Check motor parameters and try to apply autotuning if possible:
- Verify and optimize the following parameters: [IR compensation] UFr, [Nom Motor Voltage] UnS and [Rated mot. current] nCr and perform [Autotuning] tUn.
- Check or extend Output Phase Loss Time Detect [OutPhaseLoss Delay] Odt
- If intermittent or able to run at times without faulting then check motor currents.
