FF80

DC Bus High Rush

ABB · ACS800 Standard Firmware

What does FF80 mean?

The drive supply voltage is excessive, exceeding 124% of the unit's nominal voltage rating (e.g., >415V, >500V, or >690V). This overvoltage condition causes the motor speed to rapidly increase, rushing to a trip level of 40% of nominal speed, indicating a potentially dangerous power supply condition.

Common Causes

  • Excessive inrush current detected when powering up the drive.
  • Faulty pre-charge resistor or contactor preventing proper inrush current limiting.
  • Line voltage fluctuations causing high initial current draw.
  • Short circuit on the output stage of the drive.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Measure the incoming AC supply voltage level at the drive input terminals to verify it is within the allowed range.

  2. 2

    Verify the drive's rated voltage matches the actual supply voltage and that the supply voltage falls within the drive's allowed operational voltage range.
