OH2 fault in an INVT GD10 drive indicates IGBT Overheat condition. This means that the temperature of the inverter's power modules has exceeded a critical threshold.

Common Causes of OH2 Faults:

  1. Excessive Load:

    • Prolonged operation at high load can generate excessive heat.
    • Mechanical issues like bearing failures or belt slippage can increase the motor's load and, consequently, the inverter's load.
  2. Poor Ventilation:

    • Obstructed airflow to the inverter's cooling fans can impede heat dissipation.
    • Dust accumulation on the heat sink can reduce its efficiency.
  3. Environmental Factors:

    • High ambient temperature can exacerbate the heat dissipation problem.
    • Direct sunlight or exposure to heat sources can increase the inverter's operating temperature.
  4. Internal Component Failure:

    • Faulty power modules or other internal components can generate excessive heat.

Troubleshooting Steps:

  1. Check the Load:

    • Ensure the load on the motor is within its rated capacity.
    • Verify the mechanical condition of the driven equipment.
  2. Inspect the Inverter's Ventilation:

    • Clean the inverter's cooling fans and heat sink to remove dust and debris.
    • Ensure proper airflow to the inverter.
  3. Check the Ambient Temperature:

    • Avoid operating the inverter in excessively hot environments.
    • Consider using additional cooling measures like fans or air conditioning.
  4. Verify Internal Components:

    • Inspect the power modules and other components for signs of damage or overheating.
    • Consult the inverter's manual for specific diagnostic procedures.
