Cause: Precharging DC link time monitoring comes when the power unit DC link was not able to be pre-charged within the expected time. This means the precharging of the DC link capacitors took too long — or didn't complete properly — during power-up.

Siemens drive fault code F30027 indicates a problem with the power unit precharging of the DC link. The DC link capacitors in the drive need to be charged to a certain voltage before the drive can start operating. This fault means that this precharging process either didn't start correctly or took longer than expected.

Troubleshooting Steps:

• Check Line Supply: Verify the presence and correct voltage of the AC power supply to the drive. Check fuses and the main disconnect.
• Verify Line Contactor/Switch: Ensure the line contactor or switch is closed and functioning correctly.
• Inspect for Ground Faults/Short Circuits: Perform insulation tests on the motor cables. If you are qualified and it's safe, visually inspect the drive's internal components for any signs of damage.
• Multi-meter Test: Check drive rectifier using multimeter.
