Overvoltage

Vacon · NX All-in-One Application

What does 2 mean?

A hardware trip (S1) has detected the DC-link voltage exceeding its safe limits. This can be caused by a deceleration time that is too short, high voltage spikes on the input power supply, or a rapid Start/Stop sequence. Subcode S2 indicates issues with overvoltage control supervision.

Common Causes

  • Input voltage exceeds the maximum allowable limit (e.g., P1-12 > 480V).
  • Power surge from the electrical grid.
  • Faulty power supply unit generating excessive voltage.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

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

  2. 2

    If regenerative energy is an issue, consider installing an optional brake chopper and brake resistor system.

  3. 3

    Activate or verify the settings of the drive's internal overvoltage controller.

  4. 4

    Measure the input voltage at the drive's main power terminals to ensure it is within specified limits and stable.
