What F30001 means

Power unit: Overcurrent p. 299

Common causes

  • The power unit has detected an overcurrent condition. p. 299
  • Closed-loop control is incorrectly parameterized. p. 299
  • Controller parameters are not proper. p. 299
  • Motor has a short-circuit or fault to ground (frame). p. 299
  • Power cables are not correctly connected. p. 299
  • Power cables exceed the maximum permissible length. p. 299
  • Power unit defective. p. 299
  • Line phase interrupted. p. 299
  • Check the external braking resistor connection. p. 299

Safety warnings — read before you start

  • DANGERGeneral Safety Instructions. Qualified Personnel The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions. p. 2
  • WARNINGRisk of Electric Shock and Fire. Risk of electric shock and fire from supply networks with an excessively low impedance Excessively high short-circuit currents can lead to the protective devices not being able to interrupt these short-circuit currents and being destroyed, and thus causing electric shock or a fire. p. 12
  • WARNINGElectric Shock if No Ground Connection. Electric shock if there is no ground connection For missing or incorrectly implemented protective conductor connection for devices with protection class I, high voltages can be present at open, exposed parts, which when touched, can result in death or severe injury. p. 12
  • WARNINGElectric Shock Due to Unsuitable Power Supply. Electric shock due to connection to an unsuitable power supply When equipment is connected to an unsuitable power supply, exposed components may carry a hazardous voltage that might result in serious injury or death. p. 12

What to do

  1. Check the motor data - if required, carry out commissioning. p. 299
  2. Modify speed loop Kp (p29120), position loop Kv (p29110). p. 299
  3. Check the motor circuit configuration (star-delta). p. 299
  4. Check the power cable connections. p. 299
  5. Check the power cables for short-circuit or ground fault. p. 299
  6. Check the length of the power cables. p. 299
  7. Replace power unit. p. 299
  8. Check the line supply phases. p. 299

If F30001 is still not resolved

  • Contact service / dealer for assistance p. 2
    “Qualified Personnel The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.”
  • Contact service / dealer for assistance p. 13
    “NOTICE Property damage due to loose power connections Insufficient tightening torques or vibration can result in loose power connections. This can result in damage due to fire, device defects or malfunctions.”
