Overvoltage Regulator Timeout

What does 58 mean?

The overvoltage regulator circuit within the R&M Materials Handling Frequency Converter has been continuously active for more than 5 seconds. This indicates a persistent overvoltage condition that the regulator is struggling to manage, suggesting an ongoing issue with supply voltage or regenerative energy.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Measure incoming AC supply voltage at the frequency converter's input terminals (L1, L2, L3) and compare against the drive's nominal voltage rating.

2. 2

   Inspect the braking resistor(s) and associated wiring for damage, loose connections, or signs of overheating. Verify the resistance value if safely accessible.

3. 3

   Verify frequency converter parameters, specifically deceleration times and braking chopper/resistor settings, to ensure they are configured correctly for the application and load.

4. 4

   Monitor the DC bus voltage using the frequency converter's display or an external multimeter during operation, particularly during deceleration cycles, to observe voltage peaks.
