Cause : Overvoltage comes when main supply voltage too high, if you're experiencing an overvoltage fault in Siemens V20 drive, it typically means that the DC bus voltage within the drive has exceeded the specified limit.

F2 fault in siemens V20 Drive indicates Overvoltage. This means the input voltage is above the maximum allowable level. This can damage the drive's internal components if it persists.

Common Causes of F2 Alarms:

  1. Supply Voltage Issues: High voltage in the power supply can be caused by various factors, such as a faulty transformer, generator, or wiring.
  2. Drive Settings: Incorrect drive settings, such as an overly low maximum voltage setting, can trigger the F2 alarm.
  3. External Factors: Power surges or voltage spikes in the electrical grid can cause overvoltage conditions.

Troubleshooting Steps:

  1. Check Supply Voltage: Use a multimeter to measure the input voltage to the drive and ensure it's below the maximum specified value.
  2. Verify Power Source: Inspect the power source (e.g., transformer, generator) for any signs of problems or overload.
  3. Inspect Wiring: Check the wiring between the power source and the drive for any loose connections, damage, or corrosion.
  4. Check Drive Settings: Review the drive's parameter settings and ensure that the maximum voltage setting is appropriate for the supply voltage.
  5. Consider External Factors: If the F2 alarm occurs intermittently, investigate potential external factors such as power surges or voltage spikes in the electrical grid.
