Cause : Overvoltage comes when there are surge voltages in the input power supply or he power supply voltage is too high.
Here's a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and resolve the overvoltage fault:
-
Check Power Supply: Verify the voltage supplied to the drive. Measure the input voltage using a multimeter or consult the power supply specifications. Ensure that the voltage is within the acceptable range specified by the drive's documentation.
-
Inspect Incoming Power: Examine the incoming power source for any irregularities such as voltage spikes or fluctuations. Overvoltage conditions can occur due to transient events or issues with the power distribution system. Use surge protectors or voltage regulators to stabilize the incoming power if necessary.
-
Verify Grounding: Check the grounding of the drive and associated equipment. Poor grounding can contribute to voltage fluctuations and overvoltage conditions. Ensure that all grounding connections are secure and meet the requirements specified by the manufacturer.
-
Inspect Drive Parameters: Review the parameters in the Yaskawa GA800 drive to ensure they are configured correctly for your application. Check for any voltage limits or protection settings that may need adjustment. Ensure that the drive is configured to handle the expected voltage levels.
-
Check Motor Operation: Monitor the operation of the motor connected to the drive. An overloaded or stalled motor can generate back EMF and cause voltage spikes, leading to overvoltage conditions. Ensure that the motor is operating within its rated capacity and that there are no mechanical issues causing excessive strain.
