Frequency converter over-temperature
Vacon · NXS NXP AC Drive
What does 14 mean?
The heatsink temperature of the frequency converter has exceeded 90°C (or 77°C for FR6 690V drives), indicating overheating. An overtemperature warning is issued at 85°C (or 72°C). Prolonged operation at high temperatures significantly reduces the lifespan of power components and can lead to immediate drive shutdown.
Complete Troubleshooting Guide
- 1
Verify the correct amount and flow of cooling air to the frequency converter.
- 2
Inspect the heatsink for any accumulation of dust or debris and clean it thoroughly.
- 3
Check the ambient temperature around the drive and ensure it is within the specified operating range.
- 4
Reduce the switching frequency if it is set too high for the current ambient temperature and motor load conditions.
