407

DCU CEMF ALARM

Otis · DSD 412 DC Elevator Drive

What does 407 mean?

The Counter Electromotive Force (CEMF) of the motor exceeded 109% of the measured AC input voltage to the drive. This is a warning only and does not cause an automatic drive shutdown.

Common Causes

  • 3 Phase Input AC Line Voltage drooped or is too low.
  • CEMF on motor rises above AC input voltage.
  • Motor field current set too high compared to desired motor voltage at top speed.
  • Incorrect motor field control tuning preventing CEMF overshoot.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Check and correct the 3 Phase Input AC Line Voltage if it is too low.

  2. 2

    Verify weak field set point #49 against the desired motor voltage at top speed.

  3. 3

    Check and correct motor field control tuning to prevent CEMF overshoot.

  4. 4

    Review and verify settings for parameters #49, #50, #51, #52, #54, and #55.
