| Fault | Cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Pulse encoder pulses or zero pulse are missing or wrong | Generator overcurrent fault Speed / position / RTAC module fault |
If the encoder is of unisolated type, check that the cable is grounded only on converter side. In case of wrong encoder direction, check the pulse encoder phasing (A/B channels). Check the type and connection of the encoder; differential encoder is recommended. |
| Current value is wrong. Torque actual value does not correspond to the reference value. |
Faulty current transformer inside power module | Check the current transformer. Check the values in parameter group 99. |
| There is reactive power without reference. | Wrong values in parameter group 99 in the rotor-side converter control program | Check the values in parameter group 99. |
| Torque oscillates and overcurrent fault occurs. | ||
| Current imbalance fault | ||
| Earth fault |
