Ground Fault

Overheating caused damage to the motor or the motor insulation is not satisfactory.

Measure the motor insulation resistance, and replace the motor if there is electrical conduction or unserviceable insulation.

The motor main circuit cable is contacting ground to make a short circuit.

  • Examine the motor main circuit cable for damage, and repair short circuits.

  • Measure the resistance between the motor main circuit cable and the ground terminal. If there is electrical conduction, replace the cable.

An increase in the stray capacitance of the cable and the ground terminal caused an increase in the leakage current.

  • If the wiring length of the cable is more than 100 m, decrease the carrier frequency.

  • Decrease the stray capacitance.

There was a problem with the drive hardware.

Replace the control board or the drive. For information about replacing the control board, contact Yaskawa or your nearest sales representative.

Note:
  • The drive detects this fault if a current short to ground was more than 50% of rated current on the output side of the drive.

  • Do a Fault Reset to clear the fault.

  • L5-08 [Fault Reset Enable Select Grp2] disables the Auto Restart function.
