407
DCU CEMF FAULT
Otis · DSD 412 Elevator System
What does 407 mean?
This fault indicates that the Counter-Electromotive Force (CEMF) of the motor has exceeded 109% of the measured AC input voltage supplied to the DSD 412 drive. This is a warning and does not cause an automatic drive shutdown.
Common Causes
- The 3 Phase Input AC Line Voltage has drooped significantly or is too low.
- Motor CEMF rises unexpectedly above the VAC input voltage.
- Motor field current is set too high, leading to excessive CEMF production.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Check the 3 Phase Input AC Line Voltage for droops or excessively low levels.
- 2
Verify the weak field set point in parameter #49 against the desired motor voltage at top speed.
- 3
Check and correct the motor field control tuning to prevent CEMF overshoot.
- 4
Review and verify the settings for parameters #49, #50, #51, #52, #54, & #55.
