1333 (SERIES B & C) TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

1333 (SERIES B & C) TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Preventive Maintenance:
Bulletin 1333 is convection or fan cooled by air flowing through the
heat sink slots. The slots must never be allowed to become obstructed
with dirt foreign matter. Periodically check and clean the heat sink
slots.
Problems with Your Drive?
The following descriptions indicate the operation of protective
circuitry the Series B & C Bulletin 1333. What is thought to be a
drive operational problem, may in reality be normal protection circuit
operation.
Acceleration Stall Protection -- No Fault is Displayed
FUNCTION: During motor acceleration, if current exceeds 140% of rated Drive current, overcurrent stall
protection circuit operates. In order to guard against currents in excess of these values and prevent an
overcurrent trip, this circuit temporarily stops drive acceleration. When load current is again below these
values, the circuit lets the drive continue to accelerate to set frequency.
REMARKS: If the application does not require this function it can be deactivated by setting MODE 15 to 0.
Deceleration Stall Protection -- No Fault is Displayed
FUNCTION: During motor deceleration, if DC bus voltage rises above a preset bus level due to regenerative
energy, the overvoltage stall protection circuit temporarily stops the decrease in frequency in order to guard
against an overvoltage trip. When regenerative energy decreases and bus voltage falls below the preset level,
this circuit lets the frequency fall again and continue to decelerate to set frequency.
REMARKS: If this function is not appropriate for the application, it can be deactivated by setting MODE 16
to 0.
Over Current Protection -- OC Displayed
FUNCTION: If overcurrent exceeds 200% of rated Drive current flows in the Drive, this protective circuit
will shut off the drive transistors.
REMARKS:
1. Load inertia is excessively large and acceleration time is extremely short.
Setting MODE 15 to 1 (Accel Stall Protection) or increasing the acceleration time (MODES 1
& 2) will guard against OC nuisance trips.
2. The motor experienced an excessive overload condition while operating.
3. A short circuit exists in the drive output leads or in the motor windings.
4. A device in the Drive output inverter section has shorted.
Over Load Protection -- OL Displayed
FUNCTION: If the Drive output current exceeds 140% of rated Drive current for
60 seconds, this protective circuit will shut off the drive transistors.
REMARKS:
1.
2.
The starting load is above 140%. The Drive is attempting to start the load, but is in Accel Stall
Prevention (MODE 15 set to 1) for one minute.
The running load has been above 140% for one minute. The Drive may be in Accel Stall Prevention if
below the current frequency limit, or in Current Limit if at the current frequency limit -- either 25 or 50
Hz, depending on the V/Hz setting. If neither Accel Stall Prevention nor Current Limit is selected, the
Drive is between 140% and 180% of rated current for one minute.
Over Voltage Protection -- OU Displayed
FUNCTION: When DC bus voltage rises above a preset level due to high incoming line voltage or excessive
regenerative energy, this protective circuit stops transistor operation and annunciates the condition as shown.
REMARKS:
Extremely short deceleration time is the primary cause. Setting MODE 16 to 1 (Decel Stall Protection)
or increasing deceleration time (MODEs 3 & 4) will guard against OU nuisance
trips.
Low Voltage Protection -- LU is Displayed
FUNCTION: When incoming line voltage falls below 90% for 15 ms, this protective circuit stops transistor
operation to guard against incorrect drive operation.
REMARKS: After incoming line voltage is restored, if automatic restart of the Drive without recycling power
is required set MODE 9 to 0.
Over Temperature Protection -- OH Displayed
FUNCTION: When heat sink temperature rises and the transistor cooling effect is reduced, this protective
circuit stops transistor operation and annunciates the condition as shown.
REMARKS: Check the drive ambient temperature. For 7 1/2-20 HP units, check the cooling fan.
Auxiliary Interlock Trip -- AU Displayed
FUNCTION: It is possible that the drive was stopped by an external interlock. External interlocks (a thermal
overload relay or an external sequence circuit for example), are connected to terminals 16 and 17.
Operating Error -- OP Displayed
FUNCTION: If an attempt is made to return the Drive to the operating mode from the programming mode
with a START or JOG command present, this fault will be displayed and the Drive will not start.
REMARKS: The Drive must not receive a maintained START or JOG command while in the programming
mode. If a START command is present when the Drive is returned to the operating mode, an OP fault will
appear.
1.
If the Drive was in local control, the START/STOP selector switch was left in the START position while
switching from the programming mode to the operating mode.
2. If the Drive was in remote control, a START command was present while switching from the
programming mode to the operating mode.
3. If a JOG command was present while switching from the programming mode to the operating mode.
When the command is removed, the OP fault will be cleared.
ATTENTION: Power must be applied to the drive with the cover removed to perform certain troubleshooting
checks. Voltages on many components are at incoming line potential or bus voltage. To avoid electric shock or
damage to equipment, do not touch any drive components with power applied.
ATTENTION: Become familiar with the equipment and read through the wiring, speed selection and
adjustment sections before attempting to perform the startup procedures. Adjustments may be required to meet
specific load characteristics or operator preference.
Exercise extreme care when performing any task on the drive. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or
equipment damage.
A DC bus neon light at the top of the 1333 has been provided to provide visual indication that bus voltage is
present. Bus voltage may be verified by using a voltmeter and measuring the voltage between P (+) and N (-)
on the Power Terminal Block. Do not attempt to service the drive until 2 minutes after the neon light has
extinguished and bus voltage has discharged to zero volts.
