ALARM 8
DC under voltage
Danfoss · VLT HVAC Drive High Power
What does ALARM 8 mean?
The DC-link voltage has dropped below the undervoltage limit. If no 24V DC back-up supply is connected, the frequency converter will trip after a fixed time delay (varying by unit size). This indicates insufficient input power, which can lead to uncontrolled motor shutdown.
Complete Troubleshooting Guide
- 1
Verify that the supply voltage matches the frequency converter's rated voltage.
- 2
Perform an input voltage test to confirm stable and correct supply.
- 3
Perform a soft-charge circuit test to ensure it's functioning correctly.
