7.3 Warning and Alarm Types
Warnings
A warning is issued when an alarm condition is impending
or when an abnormal operating condition is present and
may result in the frequency converter issuing an alarm. A
warning clears by itself when the abnormal condition is
removed.
Alarms
Trip
An alarm is issued when the frequency converter is
tripped, which means that the frequency converter
suspends operation to prevent frequency converter or
system damage. The motor coasts to a stop. The frequency
converter logic continues to operate and monitor the
frequency converter status. After the fault condition is
remedied, the frequency converter can be reset. It is then
ready to start operation again.
In addition to the text and alarm code in the LCP, there
are 3 status indicator lights.
The warning/alarm information below defines each
warning/alarm condition, provides the probable cause for
the condition, and details a remedy or troubleshooting
procedure.

WARNING/ALARM 9, Inverter overload
The frequency converter is about to cut out because of an
overload (too high current for too long). The counter for
electronic, thermal inverter protection issues a warning at
98% and trips at 100%, while giving an alarm. The
frequency converter cannot be reset until the counter is
below 90%.
The fault is that the frequency converter has run with
more than 100% overload for too long.

Table 8.9 Mains Supply 3 x 525-690 V - Normal overload 110% for 1 minute, P37K-P90K
1) For type of fuse see chapter 8.8 Fuses and Circuit Breakers.
2) American Wire Gauge.
3) Measured using 5 m screened motor cables at rated load and rated frequency.
4) The typical power loss is at normal load conditions and expected to be within ±15% (tolerance relates to variety in voltage and cable
conditions).
Values are based on a typical motor efficiency. Lower efficiency motors will also add to the power loss in the frequency converter and vice versa.
If the switching frequency is raised from nominal, the power losses may rise significantly.
LCP and typical control card power consumptions are included. Further options and customer load may add up to 30 W to the losses. (Though
typically only 4 W extra for a fully-loaded control card or options for slot A or slot B, each).
Although measurements are made with state-of-the-art equipment, some measurement inaccuracy must be allowed for (±5%).
5) The three values for the max. cable cross section are for single core, flexible wire and flexible wire with sleeve, respectively. Motor and mains
cable: 300 MCM/150 mm2.

4) When using a contactor with a DC coil inside in combination with Safe Torque Off , it is important to make a return way for
the current from the coil when turning it off. This can be done by using a freewheel diode (or, alternatively, a 30 or 50 V MOV for
quicker response time) across the coil. Typical contactors can be bought with this diode.

Use recommended fuses and/or circuit breakers on the supply side as protection in case of component break-down inside
the frequency converter (first fault).
NOTICE
Use of fuses on the supply side is mandatory for IEC 60364 (CE) and NEC 2009 (UL) compliant installations.
Recommendations
Fuses of the type gG
•
Circuit breakers of Moeller types. For other circuit breaker types, ensure that the energy into the frequency
•
converter is equal to or lower than the energy provided by Moeller types.
Use of recommended fuses and circuit breakers ensures possible damage to the frequency converter is limited to damages
inside the unit. For further information, see Application Note Fuses and Circuit Breakers, MN90T.
The fuses below are suitable for use on a circuit capable of delivering 100,000 A
(symmetrical), depending on the
