931
Excessive open circuit voltage to motor armature circuit.
Otis · DSD 412 Elevator System
What does 931 mean?
This fault occurs when the measured armature voltage is greater than 10% of the rated volts (parameter #7) during an open circuit test. It may occur during Self-Tune (Function #997) or Self-Diagnostic (Function #998).
Common Causes
- Motor is rotating, generating Counter-Electromotive Force (CEMF).
- Unbalanced SCR leakage when parameter #7 (Rated Armature Volts) is set to a low value.
- Damaged SCR(s).
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Ensure the motor is not rotating during the test to prevent CEMF generation.
- 2
Temporarily increase parameter #7 (Rated Armature Volts) for the test if unbalanced SCR leakage is suspected.
- 3
Perform Self-Diagnostics (Function #998) to check for damaged SCR(s).
