F025

Overspeed

Schindler · Easy Altivar ATV310 Drive

What does F025 mean?

For the ATV310 drive, this fault indicates that the motor or application is operating at a speed significantly higher than expected, exceeding the drive's configured limits, potentially more than 10% above the Top frequency (parameter 308). This can be caused by control instability, high inertia loads, or incorrect speed loop parameters.

Common Causes

  • Instability in the speed control loop or application mechanics
  • Overspeed associated with the inertia of the application, especially during deceleration
  • Motor operating more than 10% above the configured Top frequency (parameter 308)
  • Incorrectly tuned parameters of the speed loop (e.g., gain and stability settings)

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Check the motor operation and physical condition for any issues contributing to overspeed.

  2. 2

    Adjust the Top frequency (parameter 308) if the motor is consistently operating more than 10% above its current setting, ensuring it matches application requirements.

  3. 3

    Add a braking resistor to the drive, if not already present, to dissipate regenerative energy during deceleration and prevent overvoltage.

  4. 4

    Check the sizing of the motor, drive, and load to ensure they are appropriate for the application's speed and inertia demands.

  5. 5

    Review and re-tune the parameters of the speed loop (gain and stability) to ensure stable operation and prevent oscillations.
