Inverter Internal Cooling Fan Stop (SVM)

Fanuc · Series 30i CNC

What does 1 mean?

This alarm indicates that the internal cooling fan within the Servo Amplifier Module (SVM) has stopped operating. The fan is critical for dissipating heat generated by the inverter's power components. A stopped fan will lead to rapid overheating of the SVM, potentially causing thermal shutdown or damage.

Common Causes

  • Foreign material obstructing the fan blades.
  • The faceplate (control printed-circuit board) is not fully seated.
  • The fan connector is not attached correctly or is loose.
  • The internal cooling fan itself has failed.

Repair Steps

  1. 1

    Check for any foreign material (e.g., dust, debris) in the fan mechanism.

  2. 2

    Be sure to push the faceplate (control printed-circuit board) as far as it will go into its slot to ensure proper contact.

  3. 3

    Check that the fan connector is securely attached to the SVM printed-circuit board.

  4. 4

    Replace the internal cooling fan if it is confirmed to be defective.

  5. 5

    Replace the SVM if the fan has been replaced and the alarm persists.
