2.2 Drive Description

The SP500 drive is an AC PWM (pulse-width-modulated) inverter that operates on single- or three-phase power. See figures 2.1 and 2.2. AC input power is applied to the drive’s input terminals. Voltage transients are suppressed by three metal-oxide-varistor (MOV) suppressors. These suppressors keep any input voltage transients within the maximum voltage rating of the input diode module.
The input diode module rectifies the incoming AC voltage into a constant DC bus voltage which is filtered by the DC bus capacitor bank. An internal DC-to-DC power supply uses power from the DC bus and provides the necessary voltages required by the drive. Under regulator software control, the IGBT (insulated-gate bipolar-transistor) inverter bridge converts the constant DC voltage into an AC PWM waveform. The regulator switches the IGBT inverter bridge using a 4, 6, or 8 kHz carrier frequency (user-selectable). A low carrier frequency maximizes the power rating of the drive but also increases acoustic noise. A high carrier frequency selection reduces acoustic noise but results in a derating of the drive’s efficiency.
The volts per hertz (V/Hz) regulator governs the open-loop operation of the drive for adjustable-speed performance of AC induction and synchronous motors. The regulator maintains a ratio of voltage to output frequency that provides constant or variable torque across a wide speed range. Drive operation can be adjusted by the parameters entered through the keypad. A microprocessor on the Regulator board controls drive regulation. See figure 2.3. The Regulator board accepts internal power feedback signals and an external speed reference signal. The Regulator board provides display data for a four-character display, which is used to indicate drive parameters, parameter values, and fault codes.
The drive can be controlled either locally through the keyboard and display (see section 7) or remotely through the terminal strip (see section 5).
The drive is intended to operate trip-free under any condition. The drive uses selected signals to extend the acceleration (starting) and deceleration (stopping) rates of the motor when an overcurrent condition occurs. When a fault does occur, however, the regulator generates an instantaneous electronic trip (IET) signal to turn the drive off (coast-to-rest). The drive stores an indication or record of the IET fault, which can be viewed on the four-character display. After a fault, the STOP/RESET key or a user-supplied IET RESET pushbutton must be pressed to reset the IET signal and clear the fault from the drive.

2.3 Identifying the Drive by Model Number

A model number identifies each SP500 AC drive. See figure 2.4. This number appears on the shipping label and on the drive’s nameplate located on the right side of the drive housing. The drive’s model number contains codes that indicate: input voltage range, enclosure rating, and horsepower rating. See section 2.3.1 for more information on the drive power ratings. See section 2.3.2 for more information on the drive enclosure ratings.

should install, adjust, operate, or service this equipment. Read and understand this manual and other applicable manuals in their entirety before proceeding.
ATTENTION:Use of power correction capacitors on the output of the drive can result in erratic operation of the motor, nuisance tripping, and/or permanent damage to the drive. Remove power correction capacitors before proceeding.
ATTENTION:The user is responsible for conforming with all applicable local, national, and international codes.
CHAPTER 3
It is important to properly plan before installing an SP500 drive to ensure that the
drive’s environment and operating conditions are satisfactory . Note that no devices are to be mounted behind the drive. This area must be kept clear of all control and power wiring. Read the following recommendations before continuing with the drive installation.
Before deciding on an installation site, consider the following guidelines:
The area chosen should allow the space required for proper airflow as specified in
sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2.
Do not install the drive above 1000 meters (3300 feet) without derating output
power. For every 91.4 meters (300 feet) above 1000 meters (3300 feet), derate the output current by 1%.
Verify that the drive location will meet the following environmental conditions:
Operating temperature (ambient): 0 to +40°C (32 to 104°F) Storage temperature (ambient): –40 to +65°C (–40 to +149°F) Humidity: 5 to 95% (non-condensing)
Verify that NEMA 1 drives can be kept clean, cool, and dry.
Be sure NEMA 1 drives are located away from oil, coolants, or other airborne
contaminants.
Verify that the AC power distribution system meets the service conditions specified
in table A.1.

3.2.3 Recommen ded Control and Signal Wire Sizes
Table 3.6 shows the recommended wire sizes to connect I/O signals to the terminal strip on the Regulator board. The minimum wire insulation rating is 600V. Operator controls can be up to 303 meters (1000 feet) from the SP500 drive. All signal wires should be twisted-pair.

3.2.4 Recommended Motor Lead Lengths
The following motor lead lengths are recommended to reduce line disturbances and noise. See figure 3.5.
For applications using one motor, motor lead length should not exceed 76 meters
(250 feet).
For applications with multiple motors, total motor lead length should not exceed 76
meters (250 feet).
When total lead length exceeds 76 meters (250 feet), nuisance trips can occur, caused by capacitive current flow to ground. Note that these capacitively-coupled currents should be taken into consideration when working in areas where drives are running. If the motor lead length must exceed these limits, the addition of output line reactors or other steps must be taken to correct the problem. See tables 3.7 and 3.8. Note that the motor lead lengths shown in table 3.7 are maximum distances. Your application may be restricted to a shorter motor lead length due to:

3.4 Installing an Emergency Stop

ATTENTION:The user must provide an external, hardwired emergency
stop circuit outside of the drive circuitry. This circuit must disable the
!
Depending upon the requirements of the application, the SP500 drive can be programmed to provide either a coast-to-rest (default) or a ramp-to-rest (user-option) operational stop without physical separation of the power source from the motor. Refer to sections 5.2 and 8.3 (parameter F-16) for more information on how to program an operational stop.
In addition to the operational stop, users must provide a hardwired emergency stop external to the drive. The emergency stop circuit must contain only hardwired electromechanical components. Operation of the emergency stop must not depend on electronic logic (hardware or software) or on the communication of commands over an electronic network or link.
3.4.1 Complying with Machinery Safety Standard EN 60204-1:1992
This section applies to users who must comply with machinery safety standard EN 60204-1:1992, part 9.2.5.4, Emergency Stop.
The SP500 drive coast-to-rest stop is a category 0 operational stop.The ramp-to-rest stop is a category 1 operational stop.
system in case of improper operation. Uncontrolled machine operation may result if this procedure is not followed.
The required external hardwired emergency stop must be either a category 0 or 1
stop, depending on the user’s risk assessment of the associated machinery. In order to fully comply with machinery safety standard EN 60204-1:1992, part 9.2.5.4, at least one of the two stop methods must be a category 0 stop. Refer to Appendix D for more information.

3.5 Motor Considerations

To obtain motor nameplate horsepower, the drive’s output current rating at the selected carrier frequency should be equal to or greater than motor nameplate current. If the motor nameplate current rating is higher than the drive’s output current rating, derate motor horsepower by the ratio of the drive’s output ampere rating (at the selected carrier frequency) to the motor nameplate current. Note that this approximation is only accurate if the drive and the motor have nearly the same rating.
3.5.1 Single-Motor Applications
Size the drive and motor for the load and speed requirements of the specific application.
The motor’s operating current must not exceed the drive’s rated output current (at the selected carrier frequency). In addition, the motor’s horsepower rating (for example, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, and 20 HP) must not be more than one horsepower range larger than the drive’s horsepower rating.
SP500 System Planning
3-9
Page 34
If the motor will be operated below one-half of its rated speed, the motor overload relay may not protect the motor because of reduced cooling action due to the reduced speed. A motor thermostat, internal to the motor, should be installed to monitor the actual temperature of the windings.
3.5.2 Multiple- Motor Applications
One drive can run two or more motors. Adhere to the following requirements to assure correct drive operation in this case:
When starting and stopping all the motors at the same time (using the drive for
starting and stopping), the sum of the full-load sine wave currents of all the motors must be equal to or less than the maximum sine wave output current at the selected carrier frequency for the drive.
For example: I
FLA
+I
FLA
+I
FLA
=I
TLA
(Motor 1) (Motor 2) (Motor 3) (Total Load)
Where: I
<100% rated drive output at the selected carrier frequency
TLA
When one or more of the motors connected to the output of the drive are to start
independently (using a secondary switching device to add or remove the motor from the circuit):
Any motor that starts or stops while the drive is running must have a current rating less than 10% of the maximum sine wave current rating of the drive at the selected carrier frequency.
The sum of the maximum full-load sine wave currents of all the motors connected continuously to the drive must be less than the maximum output current rating under all conditions.
Note that each motor requires separate thermal overload protection (for example, a motor relay or a motor thermostat).

This chapter shows how to mount the SP500 drive and its external components. Also shown are the entry areas for routing wiring in and out of the drive.

4.1 Mounting the Drive

Attach the drive to the selected flat, vertical surface using the mounting holes provided. Enclosure A drives have two mounting holes, which are accessible after the cover is removed. Enclosure B, C, and D drives have four mounting holes. In order to maintain a flat mounting surface and to ensure that bolt tightness is maintained, use washers under the bolt heads. Refer to figures 3.1 through 3.4 for drive mounting dimensions. Use the following user-supplied mounting bolts and washers:
Enclosure A drives: two M6 (1/4”)
Enclosure B drives: four M8 (5/16”)
Enclosure C drives: four M8 (5/16”)
Enclosure D drives: four M8 or M10 (5/16” or 3/8”)
CHAPTER 4
Installing the Drive

4.2 Routing Wires

All wiring should be installed in conformance with the applicable local, national, and international codes (e.g., NEC/CEC). Signal wiring, control wiring, and power wiring must be routed in separate conduits to prevent interference with drive operation. Do not route wires behind the drive. Use grommets when hubs are not provided to guard against wire chafing. Figures 4.1 through 4.4 show the wire routing, grounding terminal, and power terminal strips of the SP500 drives.
ATTENTION:Do not route signal and control wiring in the same conduit with power wiring. This can cause interference with drive operation.
!
Do not route more than three sets of motor leads through a single conduit. This will minimize cross-talk that could reduce the effectiveness of noise reduction methods. If more than three drive/motor connections per conduit are required, you must use shielded cable. If possible, each conduit should contain only one set of motor leads.
ATTENTION:Unused wires in conduit must be grounded at both ends to avoid a possible shock hazard caused by induced voltages. Also, if a
!
drive sharing a conduit is being serviced or installed, all drives using this conduit should be disabled to eliminate the possible shock hazard from cross-coupled motor leads.

4.3 Installing External Components

Install the input power and output power components that are located outside of the SP500 enclosure. See figure 5.1. The following sections describe disconnect, transformer, and AC line branch protection installation.
4.3.1 Disconnects
An input disconnect (for example, a switch or circuit breaker) must be installed in the line before the drive input terminals in accordance with local, national, and international codes (e.g., NEC/CEC). Size the disconnect according to the inrush current as well as any additional loads the disconnect might supply. Coordinate the trip rating for the current (10 to 12 times the full load current) with that of the input isolation transformer, if used. Refer to section 4.3.3 for additional information.
4.3.2 Input AC Line Branch Protection
ATTENTION:Most codes require that upstream branch protection be
provided to protect input power wiring.
!
User-supplied branch circuit protection fuses must be installed according to the applicable local, national, and international codes (for example, NEC/CEC). The fuses
must be installed in the line before the drive’s AC input terminals. Table 3.9 provides fuse values.
4.3.3 Transformers
ATTENTION:Distribution capacity above the maximum recommended
system KVA rating (100 KVA for 115/230 VAC, 1000 KVA for

Input isolation transformers may be needed to help eliminate the following:
460/575 VA C) requires the use of an isolation transformer, a line reactor,
or other means of adding similar impedance to the drive’s input power wiring.
ATTENTION:When the AC line is shared directly with other SCR­rectified drives, an optional snubber resistor braking kit might be required to alleviate excess DC bus voltage
Damaging line voltage transients.
Line noise from the drive back to the incoming power source.
Damaging currents that could develop if a point inside the drive becomes grounded.
Observe the following guidelines when installing an isolation transformer:
A power disconnecting device must be installed between the power line and the
primary of the transformer. If the power disconnecting device is a circuit breaker, the circuit breaker trip rating must be coordinated with the inrush current (10 to 12 times the full load current) of the transformer.

SP500 AC Drive Installation and Operation Manual Version 3.1
Page 41
Do NOT use an input isolation transformer rated more than 100 KV A for 230 VAC (or
1000 KVA for 460 VAC) with less than 5% impedance directly ahead of the drive without additional impedance between the drive and the transformer.
If your SP500 application requires the use of an output transformer, contact Reliance Electric for assistance.
4.3.4 Output Contactors
ATTENTION:Any disconnecting means wired to drive output terminals
U, V, and W must be capable of disabling the drive if opened during drive

Output contactors provide a positive means of disconnecting the motor from the drive. If your SP500 application requires the use of output contactors, contact Reliance Electric for assistance.
operation. If opened during drive operation, the drive will continue to produce output voltage between U, V, W. An auxiliary contact must be used to simultaneously disable the drive or output component damage may occur.
4.3.5 Mechanical Motor Overload Protection
To provide the motor with overload protection, local, national, and international codes (for example, NEC/CEC) require that a motor thermostat, internal to the motor, be installed or an electronic thermal motor overload relay, sized to protect the motor, be
installed between the motor and the drive’s output termin als. The Electronic Thermal Overload parameter (F-14) may be used in place of the
electronic thermal motor overload relays in single motor applications. Note, however, that temperature-sensing devices integral to the motor are the best way of thermally­protecting AC motors under all conditions. Parameter F-14 must be enabled to provide overload protection. Refer to section 8.3 for the parameter description.
In multiple motor applications, each motor must have its own user-supplied overload protection.

4.4 Setting the Analog Input Jumper on the Regulator Board

SP500 drives have an analog speed reference input. This is a jumper-selectable 0 to 10 VDC or 0 to 20 mA input with programmable gain and offset adjustments (parameters F-11 and F-12). Jumper J6 on the Regulator board is set to match the type of incoming analog signal, either voltage or current. See figures 2.2, 4.5, and 5.3. Refer to section 5.2.1 for more information.

4.5 Preparing the Motor

Follow these guidelines when preparing to install the motor:
Verify that the motor is the appropriate size to use with the drive.
Verify that the total motor lead length does not exceed the values given in section
3.2.4.
Follow the instructions in the motor instruction manual when installing the motor.
SP500 AC Drive Installation and Operation Manual Version 3.1

5.2.1 Analog Speed Reference Wiring
Analog speed reference input wiring connects to terminals 1 through 3 on the
Regulator board’s terminal strip. See figure 5.3. This reference signal is jumper­selectable for either a 0 to 10 VDC or 0 to 20 mA input. The setting of jumper J6 on the Regulator board determines whether the input reference is a voltage or current signal. This reference signal can be provided by either a user-supplied 5K ohm potentiometer or an external 0-10 VDC/0-20 mA supply. See section 4.4 for more information.

Forward/Reverse Control Wiring
Forward/reverse control wiring connects to terminals 9 and 11. See figures 5.5 through 5.7. Note that the setting of the forward/reverse switch is ignored when parameter F-17 is equal to 1 (disable reverse operation).
Function Loss Control Wiring
ATTENTION:The user must provide an external, hardwired emergency
stop circuit outside of the drive circuitry. This circuit must disable the
!
system in case of improper operation. Uncontrolled machine operation may result if this procedure is not followed.
Wiring the Drive
Function loss control wiring connects to terminals 10 and 11. See figures 5.5 through
5.7. Typically, a function loss input is a maintained, normally-closed pushbutton. A signal must be present at terminal 10 for the drive to run. A factory-installed jumper
connects terminals 10 and 11 which provides that signal. Remove this jumper if a function loss input, a coast-stop pushbutton, or another external interlock (for example, a motor thermostat) is used. Removing the jumper allows the drive to stop when the contact is open.

8.3 Parameter Descriptions

F-00 Control Source Select
This paramete r selects the drive control source and speed reference source.
Parameter Range:
Default Setting: Step Size:
When F-00 = 0, the drive responds to sequencing commands (start, stop, forward, reverse) from only the keypad.
When F-00 = 1, 2, or 3, the drive responds to sequencing commands from the terminal strip. Note that the drive will respond to the stop command from the keypad regardless of the value in this parameter.
Refer to the F-23 to F-25 Multi-Speed Presets parameter description for more information about multi-speed presets.
F-01 Acceleration Time
This parameter specifies the amount of time it takes the motor to ramp from stop to the maximum speed setting in F-04.
Parameter Range: Default Setting: Step Size:

If the setpoint frequency requested from the keypad (using the and keys) is less than the maximum speed setting, the time to ramp to that frequency will be proportionally less than the actual rate setting. For example, if F-04 = 60Hz and F-01 = 4 seconds, it will take 2 seconds to ramp to a frequency reference of 30 Hz.
Note that if the acceleration rate is set too fast, an overcurrent fault may occur (OC will be displayed).
F-02 Deceleration Time
This parameter specifies the amount of time it takes the motor to ramp from the maximum speed setting in F-04 to a stop.

F-02 Deceleration Time
If the frequency requested from the keypad (using the and keys) is less than the maximum speed setting, the time to ramp to that frequency will be proportionally less than the actual rate setting. For example, if F-04 = 60Hz and F-02 = 4 seconds, it will take 2 seconds to ramp to a frequency reference of 0Hz from 30 Hz.
Note that if the deceleration rate is set too fast, a high bus fault may occur (HU will be displayed)

F-05 Current Limit
This parameter limits motor output torque while it is running or accelerating.
Parameter Range: Default Setting: Step Size:
When output current attempts to exceed the preset current limit, motor current will be maintained or reduced, or the acceleration / deceleration time will be extended. If current limit is set too low or too high relative to the required load, an overcurrent fault may occur (OC will be displayed).
F-06 Manual Torque Boost
This parameter sets the percentage of output voltage boost at zero frequency.
Parameter Range: Default Setting: Step Size:
Torque boost offsets the voltage drop of the AC motor at low speeds. For high friction loads or high inertia loads, a high starting torque level may be needed. Manual torque
boost is only effective at speeds lower than one-half of the motor’s base frequency. See figure 8.1.
When adjusting this parameter, start with the default setting of 2% and gradually increase the value until motor operation is satisfactory. If torque boost is set too high relative to the load and acceleration rate, an overcurrent fault may occur (OC will be displayed).

F-09 Configurable Output Relay Select
This parameter specifies the type of status indication the output relay contacts provide (terminals 14, 15, and 16 on the drive terminal strip).
.
Parameter Range:
Default Setting: Step Size:
If F-09 = 0, the output is energized only when the RUN LED is on. If F-09 = 1, the output remains energized until the fault is cleared by pressing the
STOP/RESET key (in local operation) or by using the remote IET reset signal (for remote operation).
If F-09 = 2, the output is energized when the drive is running and at speed.
F-10 Carrier Frequency
This parameter selects
the drive’s carrier frequency.
Parameter Range:
Default Setting:
0 = Output relay is energized to show state of drive
running.
1 = Output relay is energized to show state of active fault
(IET).
2 = Output relay is energized to show state of drive
running at speed. 0 N/A
4 = 4 kHz Carrier frequency 6 = 6 kHz Carrier frequency 8 = 8 kHz Carrier frequency 4
Step Size:
The carrier frequency controls the width of the pulse and keeps the current smooth to the motor. This parameter can compensate for acoustic noise, heating, and other current problems by adjusting the switching frequency of the transistors in the inverter section.
Keeping the carrier frequency at 4kHz maximizes the continuous power rating of the drive with, generally, an acceptable acoustic noise level from the motor. Increasing the carrier frequency reduces the acoustic noise, but in some applications this can result in derating of the drive output amps. (Refer to table 2.2 for the derated ratings at the
various carrier frequencies).
F-11 Remote Reference Gain
This parameter scales the maximum remote speed reference to match external equipment.
Parameter Range: Default Setting: Step Size:
Normally, the maximum speed reference (the amount of reference at maximum speed, F-04) is either 10 VDC or 20 mA. The reference gain is used to scale the speed reference to another value (for example, 9.5 VDC or 19 mA). Enter the parameter value in percent of full scale reference.

F-12 Remote Reference Offset
This parameter scales the remote speed reference (0 to 10VDC or 0 to 20 mA) to a minimum value.
Parameter Range: Default Setting: Step Size:
Typically, the value of the minimum speed reference (the amount of reference at minimum speed, F-03) is either 0 VDC or 0 mA. Enter the parameter value as a percentage of the full scale reference to be offset from minimum speed.
To calculate the scaled minimum reference, use the following equation:

Example 1: If the remote analog input speed reference is 0 to 20 mA (J6 set on terminals 2 and 3), and the available analog reference signal is 4 to 20 mA, use F-12 to obtain minimum speed with minimum analog input as follows:
Example 2: If the remote analog input speed reference is 0 to 10 VDC (J6 set on terminals 1 and 2), and the available signal is offset 0.4 VDC, use F-12 to obtain minimum speed with minimum analog input as follows:

F-15 Electronic Thermal Overload Enable
When F-15 = ON, the drive faults if it exceeds the thermal overload time ( 60 seconds at 150% of F-14). When an external thermal switch or other overtemperature monitoring device is connected to the function loss circuit (terminals 10 and 11), this parameter may be set ON or OFF.
For multi-motor applications, set this parameter to OFF. The individual motors must have thermal switch protection.
F-16 Coast Stop Enable
(continued)
This parameter selects how the motor will stop when given a stop command.
Parameter Range:
Default Setting: Step Size:
!
A coast-to-rest stop turns off the transistor power device drivers. A ramp-to-rest stop fires the transistor power device drivers until the motor comes to a stop and then turns off the power device drivers.
Note that the function loss input opening or a drive fault will always cause a coast-to­rest stop.
F-17 Reverse Disable
This parameter enables or disables reverse rotation of the motor.
Parameter Range:
Default Setting: Step Size:
ON = Enable coast stop (motor will coast to rest) OFF = Disable coast stop (motor will ramp to rest) OFF 1%
ATTENTION: The user must provide an external, hardwired emergency stop circuit outside of the drive circuitry. This circuit must disable the system in case of improper operation. Uncontrolled machine operation may result if this procedure is not followed.
ON = Disable reverse OFF = Enable reverse OFF N/A
8-12
If F-17 = OFF, the forward/re v erse input allows forward or rev erse rotation of the motor. If F-17 = ON, reverse rotation of the motor is prohibited. When F-17 = ON, pressing
the FORWARD/REVERSE key on the keypad in local control, or wiring to terminal 9 on the terminal strip in remote control, does not affect drive operation.

F-26 Auto-Restart Number of Attempts
This parameter selects the number of times the drive will attempt to restart after certain faults have shut down the drive.
Parameter Range: Default Setting: Step Size:
ATTENTION:If parameter F-26 0, the drive will attempt to restart
automatically after auto-restartable drive faults (see table 8.2) have shut

If F-26 0, the drive logs and resets certain faults (called auto-restartable faults and listed in table 8.2) it detects while running. The drive then waits the amount of time specified in F-27 (Auto-Restart Retry Wait Time) and restarts the drive automatically.
While the drive counts down the auto-restart time period, the display flashes the countdown period (in seconds) in the following format:
“Ar30 .. Ar29 .. Ar28 ...... Ar01 .. Ar00”
This shows the amount of time remaining before the auto-restart takes effect. Once the drive restarts, it must run for 5 minutes in order to reset the number of fault
reset attempts to the value in F-26.
down the drive. When this feature is enabled, the user must ensure that automatic restart of the driven equipment will not cause injury to operating personnel or damage to the driven equipment
0 to 10 0 N/A
If the fault occurs again, the drive decrements the number of auto-restart attempts, counts down the auto-restart time again, and continues the auto-restart process. If the drive faults on all of these attempts, it remains in the faulted state and displays the fault code for the fault it is trying to clear.
If the Stop/Reset input is asserted during the countdown, the auto-restart procedure is cancelled and the fault is latched.
If a fault occurs that is auto-restartable and other faults are active that are not auto­restartable, the auto-restart function will be disabled until all faults are cleared.
When F-26 0, the drive logs the first occurrence of a fault in the fault log. Any subsequent occurrence of that fault while attempting to restart the drive will not be logged.

9.2 Troubleshooting the Drive Using Fault Codes

Table 9.1 defines the fault codes for user-correctable faults, lists possible causes, and suggests actions to take to correct the problem. All other faults require replacement
of the drive.
If a fault occurs, do the following: Step 1. Try to clear the fault first by pressing the STOP/RESET key or asserting the
IET reset input (remote operation). If the fault reoccurs, continue with step 2. Step 2. Refer to table 9.1 to identify the fault code and the possible causes. Step 3. Perform the suggested corrective action(s). Step 4. Clear the fault by pressing the STOP/RESET key or asserting the IET reset
input.
Table 9.1 – Drive Faults and Corrective Actions
FL = FUNCTION LOSS
The function loss input signal has been asserted (terminals 10 and 11).
Possible Cause Corrective Action
The external equipment connection to the function loss terminals has failed or is giving repeated stop requests.
Check the external equipment wired to the remote function loss terminals (10 and 11). Refer to chapter5.
Check the function loss input connections.
HU = HIGH BUS VOLTAGE
The DC bus is charged above the electronic trip threshold. Note that the fault will not clear until the bus falls below the high bus level.
Possible Cause Corrective Action
The deceleration rate setting in F-02 is too fast. Decrease the deceleration rate in F-02. Refer to
chapter 8 for the F-02 parameter description. Install the optional snubber resistor braking kit.
The drive was started into a forward-running load that has a high inertia.
High input line. Verify that the AC input is within specification.
Install the optional snubber resistor braking kit.
Install an isolation transformer if required.

Page 90
LU = LOW BUS VOLTAGE
DC = OVERCURRENT
OH = THERMOSTAT / DRIVE OVERLOAD
The DC bus voltage has fallen below the electronic trip low threshold level. Note that the fault will not clear until the linput line voltage is within the proper range. This may take a few seconds.
Important: If a line dip or momentary power loss occurs and the DC bus is able to rise back to the proper
level within 500 ms, the drive will automatically restart (if the drive was running when the fault occurred).
Possible Cause Corrective Action
Loss of input power. Check incoming power. Low line voltage. Check incoming power. Install an isolation
transformer if requ ired.
The drive’s 200% current rating has been exceeded.
Possible Cause Corrective Action
Short in the drive outputs. Verify that the drive’s input and output wiring are
properly connected. Refer to chapter 5.
Ground fault condition. Verify that the drive’s input and output wiring are
properly connected. Refer to chapter 5. Verify that the output wiring to the motor is not
connected to ground or any other voltage source. Refer to chapter 5.
Instantaneous overcurrent resulting in 200% rated drive current.
The internal thermostat detected excessive temperatures in the drive. Note that the fault will not clear until the internal drive temperature is back within range. This may take a few seconds.
Possible Cause Corrective Action
The drive’s operating specifications have been exceeded.
The ambient operating temperature of the drive has been exceeded. See Appendix A.
Increase the acceleration time in F-01 or the deceleration time in F-02. Refer to chapter 8 for parameter descriptions.
Adjust the current limit level in F-05 if it is too low or too high relative to the load. Make the adjustments in 5% increments.
Check the application and change the carrier frequency in F-10. Refer to chapter 8 for the parameter description.
Check the temperature at the installation site. Move the drive to a cooler location.

0L = ELECTRONIC THERMAL OVERLOAD
The electronic thermal overload trip level has been exceeded. This fault protects the drive motor from overheating due to excessive current within a specified period. Note that the fault will not clear until the input line voltage is within the proper range. This may take a few seconds.
Possible Cause Corrective Action
The current limit setting in F-05 is incorrect. If the current limit level is too low relative to the load,
increase the current level in F-05. Refer to chapter 8 for the parameter description.
The electronic thermal overload setting in F-14 does not match the motor and drive combination.
Verify the value of F-14. Refer to chapter 8 for the parameter description.
= POWER SUPPLY OUT OF RANGE
The power supply is out of range.
Possible Cause Corrective Action
Possible regulator failure. Contact Reliance Electric for assistance if the fault
reoccurs after pressing the STOP/RESET key (or asserting the IET reset input) or cycling power.
SELU = INVALID DRIVE VOLTAGES
The value in F-28 is incorrect for the drive.
Possible Cause Corrective Action
An invalid drive voltage was selected in F-28. Select the voltage to match the input line voltage.

9.3 Accessing and Clearing th e Error Log

Troubleshooting Reference
If a fault occurs, the drive displays a fault code and logs the fault code into the error log. If more than one fault occurs, the first fault flashes on the display and the subsequent faults (up to two) are logged in the error log. After three faults, no subsequent faults are logged.
The faults in the error log are numbered sequentially. For example, if an overcurrent fault occurred first followed by a thermal overload fault, the error log would read 1-OC, 2-OL.
The last fault to occur appears first when the error log is accessed. For example, if the last fault to occur was a low bus fault, and the error log contained three entries, the error log would display 3-LU when the error log is accessed.

9.4 Checking the Drive’s P o wer Module Circuitry with the
Power Off
ATTENTION:DC bus capacitors retain hazardous voltages after input power has been disconnected. After disconnecting input power, wait five
!
Use the following procedure to check the drive’s Po w er Module circuitry. Note that this test is performed with the power off.
Step 1. Turn off and lock out input power. Wait five minutes. Step 2. Remove the drive’s cover.
(5) minutes for the DC bus capacitors to discharge and then check the voltage with a voltmeter to ensure the DC bus capacitors are discharged before touching any internal components.
Step 3. Verify that there is no voltage at the drive’s input power terminals. Step 4. Check the DC bus voltage with a voltmeter as de scribed in section 9.1 to
ensure that the DC bus capacitors are discharged. Step 5. Disconnect the motor from the drive. Step 6. Check all AC line and DC bus fuses. Step 7. If a fuse is open, use a multimeter to check the input diodes and output
IGBTs. See tables 9.2 and 9.3. Step 8. Reconnect the motor to the drive. Step 9. Reattach the drive’s cover. Step 10. Reapply input power.
