3210

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. 1

    Verify that the overvoltage controller function is enabled by checking parameter 20.05.

  2. 2

    Measure the incoming AC supply voltage for any static or transient overvoltage conditions that exceed nominal limits.

  3. 3

    Inspect the brake chopper and its associated resistor (if installed) for proper functionality and wiring.

  4. 4

    Increase the deceleration time parameter in the drive settings to allow for a slower deceleration of the motor.

  5. 5

    If applicable, enable the coast-to-stop function to allow the motor to freely decelerate without regenerative braking.

  6. 6

    Consider installing or retrofitting a brake chopper and brake resistor if the application experiences frequent overvoltage trips during deceleration.
