Over-current of Charge Current (ECM)

Fanuc · Alpha i Series AC Servo Motor and Spindle

What does 3 mean?

An over-current condition has occurred in the charge current path to the Capacitor Modules of the ECM. This suggests an issue with the charging circuit or a fault in the capacitor modules themselves.

Common Causes

  • Excessive current flowing into the battery or DC bus during charging.
  • Battery internal resistance is too high, limiting charge acceptance.
  • Faulty charging circuit or power supply unit.
  • Incorrect battery charging parameters configured (e.g., P5-xx).
  • External voltage source exceeding battery's maximum charge voltage.
