What is the OC fault in a frequency converter? 

Products related to my wastewater treatment system

The OC fault in a frequency converter refers to an over-current fault.‌

 OC stands for Over Current, indicating that the output current of the frequency converter has exceeded its preset over-current detection threshold‌1. In the frequency converter manual, OC is usually clearly labeled as an over-current fault, along with other related faults such as short-circuit fault (SC). The OC fault is one of the most frequent alarm phenomena in frequency converters, with complex and diverse causes, mainly including excessive load, overly short acceleration/deceleration time settings, damage to the inverter module, damage to the drive circuit, etc.‌12. When an over-current fault occurs in the frequency converter, it is necessary to identify and resolve it promptly and accurately to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the production line and avoid greater economic losses.
‌What are the solutions to the OC fault of the frequency converter? The solutions to the OC fault of the frequency converter mainly include checking the load condition, adjusting the acceleration and deceleration time, checking the torque boost amount, limiting the current and torque, considering increasing the power of the frequency converter, and checking the internal components of the frequency converter, etc.‌

1. ‌Checking the Load Condition‌:
• Confirm whether the load is within the carrying capacity of the frequency converter. If the load is too heavy, it needs to be reduced or a more powerful frequency converter should be replaced‌12.
• Check whether the motor is operating normally and whether the motor cable is too long or improperly selected, causing excessive output leakage current. If there are faults, repairs or replacements are required‌4.
2. ‌Adjusting the Acceleration and Deceleration Time‌:
• Confirm whether the acceleration and deceleration time is set too short, and appropriately extend it to avoid excessive current‌13.
3. ‌Checking the Torque Boost Amount‌:
• Check whether the torque boost amount is too large. If it is, reduce the corresponding value of the function code and observe whether the current decreases without loss of speed‌3.
4. ‌Limiting the Current and Torque‌:
• Set the current limit and torque limit to the effective state to prevent overcurrent situations‌3.
5. ‌Considering Increasing the Power of the Frequency Converter‌:
• If the load demand is large, consider increasing the power of the frequency converter to meet the high current demand‌13.
6. ‌Checking the Internal Components of the Frequency Converter‌:
• Open the frequency converter case and check whether internal components such as the inverter module, drive circuit, and current detection circuit are damaged or aged. If there are damage or aging phenomena, relevant components need to be replaced in time‌26.

By following these methods, the OC fault of the frequency converter can be effectively resolved, ensuring its stable operation.

‌What is the OV fault in a frequency converter?

 The OV fault in a frequencyconverter refers to an over-voltage fault.‌

 OV stands for Over Voltage, indicating that the input voltage of the frequency converter exceeds its rated value. This fault is usually related to excessively high supply voltage or internal faults of the frequency converter. Specifically, excessively high supply voltage may be caused by abnormal grid voltage or transformer failure; while internal faults of the frequency converter may involve the failure of over-voltage protection circuits or rectifier bridges and other components. In addition, the specific causes of OV faults may vary among different brands of frequency converters. For example, an OV fault in an jienlu frequency converter may be caused by expired battery life, triggered overload protection, damaged power transformers, circuit board failures, or other factors such as overall machine aging. On the other hand, an OV fault code in a Delta frequency converter may be caused by excessively high supply voltage, improper internal parameter settings of the frequency converter, sudden load changes, motor failures, and other reasons. When dealing with an OV fault in a frequency converter, it is first necessary to check whether the supply voltage is stable and meets the input requirements of the frequency converter. Then, check whether the internal parameter settings of the frequency converter are correct, and also pay attention to the load condition and whether the motor has failed. Through careful troubleshooting and repairs, the frequency converter can be restored to normal operation.

What are the solutions to the OV fault in a frequency converter?

The solutions to the OV fault in a frequency converter mainly include checking the supply voltage, adjusting the deceleration time, monitoring load changes, checking for internal equipment faults, and repairing or replacing faulty components.

1. ‌Checking the Supply Voltage‌:
• Use a multimeter to measure the input supply voltage and ensure it is within the specified voltage range of the frequency converter.
• If the supply voltage is too high, consider installing a voltage stabilizer to stabilize the voltage or consult with the power supply department to resolve voltage fluctuation issues‌12.
2. ‌Adjusting the Deceleration Time‌:
• During the deceleration process of the frequency converter, if the deceleration time is set too short, it may lead to an overvoltage fault. Therefore, based on the inertia of the load and actual operating conditions, appropriately extend the deceleration time‌13.
3. ‌Monitoring Load Changes‌:
• Sudden load changes can cause abrupt changes in motor speed, resulting in overvoltage. Therefore, for situations where load changes may occur, additional monitoring devices for load changes can be added or corresponding control measures can be taken‌1.
4. ‌Checking for Internal Equipment Faults‌:
• Check whether the voltage detection circuit of the frequency converter has failed, such as damage to the voltage sensor or changes in the detection resistance value.
• Inspect the power supply section of the frequency converter for damaged components, such as capacitors and resistors‌15.
5. ‌Repairing or Replacing Faulty Components‌:
• If faults are found in the voltage detection circuit or other components, repairs or replacements should be carried out.
• If none of the above methods resolve the issue, consider replacing the frequency converter itself‌15.

During the repair process, safety precautions must be taken. Turn off the power, wear professional protective equipment, and avoid dangers such as electric shock. Additionally, avoid arbitrarily dismantling internal components of the frequency converter to prevent causing greater damage.
