Siemens G120C Error A05006: Power unit: Overtemperature thermal model

Siemens G120C drive · taken from the manufacturer’s manual, pages cited

Fault codeA05006

The rectifier temperature has exceeded its alarm threshold, possibly due to ambient heat or fan failure. The manual's first action is: “Check the following: - is the ambient temperature within the defined limit values? - have the load conditions and the load duty cycle been appropriately dimensioned? - has the fan failed? Check the direction of rotation. - has a phase of the line supply failed? - is an arm of the supply (incoming) rectifier defective?”

What A05006 means

Power unit: Overtemperature thermal model p. 697

Common causes

  • The alarm threshold for the overtemperature of the rectifier has been reached. The response is set using p0290. p. 697
  • If the temperature of the rectifier increases by an additional 5 K, then fault F30037 is triggered. p. 697
  • The temperature difference between the chip and heat sink has exceeded the permissible limit value (blocksize power units only). p. 697
  • Depending on p0290, an appropriate overload response is initiated. p. 697

What to do

  1. Check the following: - is the ambient temperature within the defined limit values? - have the load conditions and the load duty cycle been appropriately dimensioned? - has the fan failed? Check the direction of rotation. - has a phase of the line supply failed? - is an arm of the supply (incoming) rectifier defective? p. 697
