131
OV1-Trip (Overvoltage in intermediate circuit while charging)
Kuka · KR C2 Robot Controller
What does 131 mean?
This fault indicates an overvoltage condition in the intermediate DC bus circuit during the charging phase (KPS-600). This can be caused by excessive input voltage or issues with the charging circuit, risking damage to power components if the voltage exceeds safe limits.
Common Causes
- OV1-Trip: Overvoltage detected in the intermediate circuit during charging (P1-15).
- Regenerative braking not effectively dissipating energy.
- External power source providing excessive voltage.
- Defect in the drive's DC bus smoothing capacitors.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Measure the incoming AC line voltage (L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L1) at the drive input terminals — ensure it is within the drive's specified input range.
- 2
Measure the DC bus voltage at terminals +UDC/-UDC during the charging sequence.
- 3
Verify the external power supply quality for voltage stability and absence of spikes.
