1.3 Product Overview
A drive is an electronic motor controller that converts AC
mains input into a variable AC waveform output. The
frequency and voltage of the output are regulated to
control the motor speed or torque. The drive can vary the
speed of the motor in response to system feedback, such
as changing temperature or pressure for controlling fan,
compressor, or pump motors. The drive can also regulate
the motor by responding to remote commands from
external controllers.
In addition, the drive monitors the system and motor
status, issues warnings or alarms for fault conditions, starts
and stops the motor, optimizes energy efficiency, and
offers many more control, monitoring, and efficiency
functions. Operation and monitoring functions are
available as status indications to an outside control system
or serial communication network.

2.4.1 Requirements
WARNING
EQUIPMENT HAZARD!
Rotating shafts and electrical equipment can be hazardous.
All electrical work must conform to national and local
electrical codes. It is strongly recommended that installation, start up, and maintenance be performed only by
trained and qualified personnel. Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
WIRING ISOLATION!
Run input power, motor wiring and control wiring in three
separate metallic conduits or use separated shielded cable
for high frequency noise isolation. Failure to isolate power,
motor and control wiring could result in less than
optimum drive and associated equipment performance.
2
For your safety, comply with the following requirements.
Electronic controls equipment is connected to
•
hazardous mains voltage. Extreme care should be
taken to protect against electrical hazards when
applying power to the unit.
Run motor cables from multiple frequency
•
converters separately. Induced voltage from
output motor cables run together can charge
equipment capacitors even with the equipment
turned off and locked out.
Overload and Equipment Protection
An electronically activated function within the
•
drive provides overload protection for the motor.
The overload calculates the level of increase to
activate timing for the trip (controller output
stop) function. The higher the current draw, the
quicker the trip response. The overload provides
Class 20 motor protection. See 8 Warnings andAlarms for details on the trip function.
Because the motor wiring carries high frequency
•
current, it is important that wiring for mains,
motor power, and control are run separately. Use
metallic conduit or separated shielded wire.
Failure to isolate power, motor, and control
wiring could result in less than optimum
equipment performance. See Illustration 2.5.
Illustration 2.5 Proper Electrical Installation Using Conduit
All frequency converters must be provided with
•
short-circuit and over-current protection. Input
fusing is required to provide this protection, see
Illustration 2.6. See maximum fuse ratings in
10.3 Fuse Tables.
Illustration 2.6 Drive Fuses
Wire Type and Ratings
All wiring must comply with local and national
•
regulations regarding cross-section and ambient
temperature requirements.
GE recommends that all power connections be
•
made with a minimum 75° C rated copper wire.
See 10.1 Power-dependent Specifications for
•
recommended wire sizes.

2.4.2 Earth (Grounding) Requirements
WARNING
GROUNDING HAZARD!
For operator safety, it is important to ground drive
properly in accordance with national and local electrical
codes as well as instructions contained within these
instructions. Ground currents are higher than 3,5mA.
Failure to ground drive properly could result in death or
serious injury.
NOTE
It is the responsibility of the user or certified electrical
installer to ensure correct grounding (earthing) of the
equipment in accordance with national and local electrical
codes and standards.
Follow all local and national electrical codes to
•
ground electrical equipment properly
Proper protective grounding for equipment with
•
ground currents higher than 3,5mA must be
established, see Leakage Current (>3,5mA)
A dedicatedground wire is required for input
•
power, motor power and control wiring
Use the clamps provided with on the equipment
•
for proper ground connections
Do not ground one drive to another in a “daisy
•
chain” fashion
Keep the ground wire connections as short as
•
possible
Use of high-strand wire to reduce electrical noise
•
is recommended
Follow motor manufacturer wiring requirements
•
2.4.2.1 Leakage Current (>3,5mA)
EN/IEC61800-5-1 (Power Drive System Product Standard)
requires special care if the leakage current exceeds 3,5mA.
Earth grounding must be reinforced in one of the
following ways:
Earth ground wire of at least 10mm
•
Two separate earth ground wires both complying
•
with the dimensioning rules
See EN 60364-5-54 § 543.7 for further information.
Using RCDs
Where residual current devices (RCDs), also known as earth
leakage circuit breakers (ELCBs), are used, comply with the
following:
Use RCDs of type B only which are capable of
detecting AC and DC currents
Use RCDs with an inrush delay to prevent faults
due to transient earth currents
Dimension RCDs according to the system configuration and environmental considerations
2
Follow national and local codes regarding protective
earthing of equipment with a leakage current > 3,5mA.
Drive technology implies high frequency switching at high
power. This will generate a leakage current in the earth
connection. A fault current in the drive at the output
power terminals might contain a DC component which can
charge the filter capacitors and cause a transient earth
current. The earth leakage current depends on various
system configurations including RFI filtering, screened
motor cables, and drive power.

2.4.2.2 Grounding Using Shielded Cable
Earthing (grounding) clamps are provided for motor wiring
(see Illustration 2.7).
Illustration 2.7 Grounding with Shielded Cable
2.4.2.3 Grounding Using Conduit
CAUTION
GROUNDING HAZARD!
Do not use conduit connected to the drive as a
replacement for proper grounding. Ground currents are
higher than 3.5mA. Improper grounding can result in
personal injury or electrical shorts.
Dedicated grounding clamps are provided (See
Illustration 2.8).
1.Use a wire stripper to remove the insulation for
proper grounding.
2.Secure the grounding clamp to the stripped
portion of the wire with the screws provided.
3.Secure the grounding wire to the grounding

3 Start Up and Functional Testing
3.1 Pre-start
3.1.1 Safety Inspection
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE!
If input and output connections have been connected
improperly, there is potential for high voltage on these
terminals. If power leads for multiple motors are
improperly run in same conduit, there is potential for
leakage current to charge capacitors within the drive, even
when disconnected from mains input. For initial start up,
make no assumptions about power components. Follow
pre-start procedures. Failure to follow pre-start procedures
could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
1.Input power to the unit must be OFF and locked
out. Do not rely on the drive disconnect switches
for input power isolation.
2.Verify that there is no voltage on input terminals
L1 (91), L2 (92), and L3 (93), phase-to-phase and
phase-to-ground,
3.Verify that there is no voltage on output
terminals 96 (U), 97 (V), and 98 (W), phase-tophase and phase-to-ground.
4.Confirm continuity of the motor by measuring
ohm values on U-V (96-97), V-W (97-98), and W-U
(98-96).
5.Check for proper grounding of the drive as well
as the motor.
6.Inspect the drive for loose connections on
terminals.
7.Record the following motor-nameplate data:
power, voltage, frequency, full load current, and
nominal speed. These values are needed to
program motor nameplate data later.
8.Confirm that the supply voltage matches voltage
of drive and motor.

5.6 Remote Programming with DCT-10
GE has a software program available for developing,
storing, and transferring drive programming. The DCT-10
allows the user to connect a PC to the drive and perform
live programming rather than using the keypad. Also, all
drive programming can be done off-line and simply
downloaded into drive. Or the entire drive profile can be
loaded onto the PC for back up storage or analysis.
The USB connector or RS-485 terminal are available for
connecting to the drive.
Table 6.9 Speed Reference (using a manual potentiometer)
10V*
0*
50*.
Table 6.10 Run Permissive
Hand Off Auto (HOA), without the use of the Drive keypad
To have a HOA system with an external 0-10V potentiometer for the hand reference and a 4-20mA signal for the
auto reference, 2 set-ups should be used. In this example
set-up 1 is used for the hand mode and set-up 2 for the
auto mode. Analog input 53 is used for the hand reference
(0-10V potentiometer) and analog input 54 for the auto
reference (4-20mA) and digital input 27 for the set-up
selector. Please ensure that the analog inputs have the
correct dip settings (A-53 [U] and A-54 [I]).
In the upper right corner of the keypad 2 numbers are
shown – like 1(1). The number outside the parenthesis is
the active set-up and the number inside the parenthesis is
the set-up which will be edited. Default will always be 1(1).
Make sure you edit set-up 1.
1.Make all the parameter changes you need, that
will be common for auto and hand mode, like
motor parameters etc.
2.Set par. K-10 Active set-up to [9] Multi Set-up.
This parameter change is needed to be able to
change set-up from an external source, like a
digital input.
3.Set par. K-11 Edit Set-up to [9] Active Set-up. This
is recommended because then the active setup
will always be the set-up that is edited. If you
prefer you can also ignore this and manually
control what set-up you want to edit through
par. K-11.
4.Set par. E-03 Terminal 27 Digital Input to [23] Setup select bit 0. When terminal 27 is OFF, set-up 1
(hand) is active, when it is ON, set-up 2 (auto) is
active.
5.Set par. F-01 Frequency Setting 1 to Analog input
53 (hand mode).
6.Copy set-up 1 to set-up 2. Set par. K-51 Set up
Copy to [2] Copy to set-up 2. Now setup 1 and 2
are identical.
7.If you need to be able to change between hand
and auto mode while the motor is running you
will have to link the 2 set-ups together. Set par.
K-12 This Set-up Linked to to [2] set-up 2.
8.Change to set-up 2 by setting input 27 ON (if par.
K-11 is [9]) or by setting par. K-11 Edit Set-up to
set-up 2.
9.Set par. F-01 Frequency Setting 1 to Analog input
54 (auto mode). If you want different settings in
hand and auto mode, like different accel/decel
ramps, speed limits etc. you can now programme
them. You just have to make sure you edit the
correct set-up. Set-up 1 is Hand mode and set-up
2 is Auto mode.
When the drive is in status mode, status messages are
generated automatically from within the drive and appear
in the bottom line of the display (see Illustration 7.1.)
Illustration 7.1 Status Display
a.The first word on the status line indicates where
the stop/start command originates.
b.The second word on the status line indicates
where the speed control originates.
c.The last part of the status line gives the present
drive status. These show the operational mode

8 Warnings and Alarms
8.1 System Monitoring
The drive monitors the condition of its input power,
output, and motor factors as well as other system
performance indicators. A warning or alarm may not
necessarily indicate a problem internal to the drive itself. In
many cases it indicates failure conditions from input
voltage, motor load or temperature, external signals, or
other areas monitored by the frequency converter’s
internal logic. Be sure to investigate those areas exterior to
the drive as indicated in the alarm or warning.
8.2 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 drive issuing an alarm. A warning clears
by itself when the abnormal condition is removed.
Alarms
Trip
An alarm is issued when the drive is tripped, that is, the
drive suspends operation to prevent drive or system
damage. The motor will coast to a stop. The drive logic
will continue to operate and monitor the drive status. After
the fault condition is remedied, the drive can be reset. It
will then be ready to start operation again.
A trip can be reset in any of 4 ways:
Press [RESET] on the keypad
•
Digital reset input command
•
Serial communication reset input command
•
Auto reset
•
Trip-lock
An alarm that causes the drive to trip-lock requires that
input power be cycled. The motor will coast to a stop. The
drive logic will continue to operate and monitor the drive
status. Remove input power to the drive and correct the
cause of the fault, then restore power. This action puts the
drive into a trip condition as described above and may be
reset in any of those 4 ways.
8.3 Warning and Alarm Displays
An alarm or trip-lock alarm will flash on display along with
the alarm number.

Warnings and AlarmsAF-600 FP Operating Instructions
8.4 Warning and Alarm Definitions
Table 8.1 defines whether a warning is issued prior to an alarm, and whether the alarm trips the unit or trip locks the unit.
The warning/alarm information below defines the warning/
alarm condition, provides the probable cause for the
condition, and details a remedy or troubleshooting
procedure.
WARNING 1, 10 Volts low
The control card voltage is below 10 V from terminal 50.
Remove some of the load from terminal 50, as the 10 V
supply is overloaded. Max. 15 mA or minimum 590 Ω.
This condition can be caused by a short in a connected
potentiometer or improper wiring of the potentiometer.
Troubleshooting: Remove the wiring from terminal 50. If
the warning clears, the problem is with the customer
wiring. If the warning does not clear, replace the control
card.

WARNING/ALARM 2, Live zero error
This warning or alarm will only appear if programmed by
the user in AN-01 Live Zero Timeout Function. The signal on
one of the analog inputs is less than 50% of the minimum
value programmed for that input. This condition can be
caused by broken wiring or faulty device sending the
signal.
Troubleshooting
Check connections on all the analog input
terminals. Control card terminals 53 and 54 for
signals, terminal 55 common. OPCGPIO terminals
11 and 12 for signals, terminal 10 common.
OPCAIO terminals 1, 3, 5 for signals, terminals 2,
4, 6 common).
Check that the drive programming and switch
settings match the analog signal type.
Perform Input Terminal Signal Test.
WARNING/ALARM 4, Mains phase loss
A phase is missing on the supply side, or the mains
voltage imbalance is too high. This message also appears
for a fault in the input rectifier on the drive. Options are
programmed at SP-12 Function at Line Imbalance.
Troubleshooting: Check the supply voltage and supply
currents to the drive.
WARNING 5, DC link voltage high
The intermediate circuit voltage (DC) is higher than the
high voltage warning limit. The limit is dependent on the
drive voltage rating. The unit is still active.
WARNING 6, DC link voltage low
The intermediate circuit voltage (DC) is lower than the low
voltage warning limit. The limit is dependent on the drive
voltage rating. The unit is still active.
WARNING/ALARM 7, DC overvoltage
If the intermediate circuit voltage exceeds the limit, the
drive trips after a time.
Troubleshooting
Connect a brake resistor
Extend the ramp time
Change the ramp type
Activate the functions in B-10 Brake Function
Increase SP-26 Trip Delay at Drive Fault
WARNING/ALARM 8, DC under voltage
If the intermediate circuit voltage (DC link) drops below
the under voltage limit, the drive checks if a 24V DC
backup supply is connected. If no 24V DC backup supply is
connected, the drive trips after a fixed time delay. The
time delay varies with unit size.
Troubleshooting:
Check that the supply voltage matches the drive
voltage.
Perform input voltage test
Perform soft charge circuit test
WARNING/ALARM 9, Inverter overload
The drive is about to cut out because of an overload (too
high current for too long). The counter for electronic,
thermal inverter protection gives a warning at 98% and
trips at 100%, while giving an alarm. The drive cannot be
reset until the counter is below 90%.
The fault is that the drive is overloaded by more than
100% for too long.
Troubleshooting
Compare the output current shown on the
keypad with the drive rated current.
Compare the output current shown on the
keypad with measured motor current.
Display the Thermal Drive Load on the keypad
and monitor the value. When running above the
drive continuous current rating, the counter
should increase. When running below the drive
continuous current rating, the counter should
decrease.
See the derating section in the Design Guide for more
details if a high switching frequency is required.
WARNING/ALARM 10, Motor overload temperature
According to the electronic thermal protection, the motor
is too hot. Select whether the drive gives a warning or an
alarm when the counter reaches 100% in F-10 ElectronicOverload . The fault occurs when the motor is overloaded
by more than 100% for too long.
Troubleshooting
Check for motor overheating.
Check if the motor is mechanically overloaded
Check that the motor current set in P-03 MotorCurrent is correct.
Ensure that Motor data in parameters P-02, P-03,
P-06, P-07, F-04 and F-05 are set correctly.
If an external fan is in use, check in F-11 MotorExternal Fan that it is selected.
Running Auto tune in P-04 Auto Tune may tune
the drive to the motor more accurately and
reduce thermal loading.
WARNING/ALARM 11, Motor thermistor over temp
The thermistor might be disconnected. Select whether the
drive gives a warning or an alarm in F-10 ElectronicOverload .

Check if the motor is mechanically overloaded.
When using terminal 53 or 54, check that the
thermistor is connected correctly between either
terminal 53 or 54 (analog voltage input) and
terminal 50 (+10V supply) and that the terminal
switch for 53 or 54 is set for voltage. Check
F-12 Motor Thermistor Input selects terminal 53 or
54.
When using digital inputs 18 or 19, check that
the thermistor is connected correctly between
either terminal 18 or 19 (digital input PNP only)
and terminal 50. Check F-12 Motor ThermistorInput selects terminal 18 or 19.
WARNING/ALARM 12, Torque limit
The torque has exceeded the value in F-40 Torque Limiter
(Driving) or the value in F-41 Torque Limiter (Braking).
SP-25 Trip Delay at Torque Limit can change this from a
warning only condition to a warning followed by an alarm.
Troubleshooting
If the motor torque limit is exceeded during ramp

10.3 Fuse Tables
It is recommended to use fuses and/ or Circuit Breakers on
the supply side as protection in case of component breakdown inside the drive (first fault).
NOTE
This is mandatory in order to ensure compliance with IEC
60364 for CE or NEC 2009 for UL.
WARNING
Personnel and property must be protected against the
consequence of component break-down internally in the
drive.
Branch Circuit Protection
In order to protect the installation against electrical and
fire hazard, all branch circuits in an installation, switch
gear, machines etc., must be protected against short-circuit
and over-current according to national/international
regulations.
NOTE
The recommendations given do not cover Branch circuit
protection for UL.
10.3.1 Recommendations
WARNING
In case of malfunction, not following the recommendation
may result in personnel risk and damage to the drive and
other equipment.
The following tables list the recommended rated current.
Recommended fuses are of the type gG for small to
medium power sizes. For larger powers, aR fuses are
recommended. Circuit breakers must be used provided
they meet the national/international regulations and they
limit the energy into the drive to an equal or lower level
than the compliant circuit breakers.
If fuses/Circuit Breakers according to recommendations are
chosen, possible damages on the drive will mainly be
limited to damages inside the unit.
Short-circuit protection:
GE recommends using the fuses/Circuit Breakers
mentioned below to protect service personnel and
property in case of component break-down in the drive.
Over current protection:
The drive provides overload protection to limit threats to
human life, property damage and to avoid fire hazard due
to overheating of the cables in the installation. The drive is
equipped with an internal over current protection
(F-43 Current Limit) that can be used for upstream overload
protection (UL-applications excluded). Moreover, fuses or
Circuit Breakers can be used to provide the over current
protection in the installation. Over current protection must
always be carried out according to national regulations.
