DC OVERVOLT
ABB · ACS800 Standard Firmware
What does 3210 mean?
An excessive DC voltage has been detected in the intermediate circuit of the drive. The DC overvoltage trip limit is calculated as 1.3 × 1.35 × U1max, which corresponds to 728 VDC for 400 V units, 877 VDC for 500 V units, and 1210 VDC for 690 V units. This fault is associated with bit 2 of Fault Word 1 (3.05 FW 1).
Common Causes
- DC bus voltage is excessively high.
- Regenerative braking not functioning correctly.
- Line voltage too high causing DC bus overvoltage.
- Capacitor bank failure in the DC bus.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Verify that the overvoltage controller function is enabled by checking parameter 20.05.
- 2
Measure the incoming AC supply voltage for any static or transient overvoltage conditions that exceed nominal limits.
- 3
Inspect the brake chopper and its associated resistor (if installed) for proper functionality and wiring.
- 4
Increase the deceleration time parameter in the drive settings to allow for a slower deceleration of the motor.
- 5
If applicable, enable the coast-to-stop function to allow the motor to freely decelerate without regenerative braking.
- 6
Consider installing or retrofitting a brake chopper and brake resistor if the application experiences frequent overvoltage trips during deceleration.
