Over-voltage of Capacitor Module (ECM)

Fanuc · Alpha i Series AC Servo Motor and Spindle

What does 7 mean?

The voltage across the Capacitor Module of the ECM has exceeded its maximum safe operating voltage. This indicates an issue with charge control or excessive regenerative energy.

Common Causes

  • The voltage across the capacitor module exceeds its maximum rated voltage.
  • External voltage surge applied to the capacitor module.
  • Faulty capacitor module components (e.g., series elements).
  • Incorrect operation of balancing circuits within the module.
  • Overcharging of the capacitor bank.
