boL

Braking Transistor Overload Fault

Yaskawa · V1000 AC Drive

What does boL mean?

The internal braking transistor is experiencing an overload, typically due to a high regeneration power or an excessive repetition frequency during braking cycles. This can also trigger if the transistor's protective function is enabled incorrectly while a regenerative converter is present, or if the transistor itself is faulty. Prolonged overload can lead to component damage and potential drive failure.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Evaluate the application's braking energy requirements; consider installing an external regenerative converter if the duty cycle is high.

  2. 2

    Increase the deceleration time parameter in the drive to reduce the energy dissipated through the braking transistor.

  3. 3

    If a regenerative converter is installed, set parameter L8-55 (Internal DB Transistor Protection Selection) to '0' (Disable).

  4. 4

    If the fault persists after performing the above steps, the internal braking transistor may be damaged, requiring replacement of the drive unit.
