Brake Check Fault
Danfoss · VLT Micro Drive FC 51
What does 1 mean?
This fault indicates an issue during the drive's internal brake check procedure, suggesting a problem with the braking unit or its connection. This could prevent the drive from starting or safely stopping the motor, posing a risk of uncontrolled movement if the braking system is compromised.
Additional Steps
Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.
- 3
Inspect the braking chopper unit (if external) for signs of damage or incorrect operation.
- 4
Temporarily disable the brake check function (if configurable) for diagnostic purposes, but only if safe to do so.
- 5
If the issue persists, consider replacing the braking resistor or the internal/external braking chopper.
