OH

Heatsink Overheat

Yaskawa · VS-616G5 Variable Speed Drive

What does OH mean?

The OH condition indicates that the inverter's heatsink temperature has risen above the set OH Pre-Alarm Level (L8-02). This is a warning that the inverter is approaching an over-temperature condition. If the temperature continues to rise, the inverter will likely trip to protect its internal power components.

Complete Troubleshooting Guide

  1. 1

    Ensure the inverter's cooling fans are operational, free from obstructions, and clean of dust and debris.

  2. 2

    Verify that the ambient temperature around the inverter is within its specified operating limits.

  3. 3

    Check for adequate ventilation around the inverter enclosure; remove any blockages to airflow.

  4. 4

    Clean the heatsink fins and internal cooling passages thoroughly.

  5. 5

    Review and potentially adjust the OH Pre-Alarm Level (L8-02) if it is set too low for the application's normal operating conditions, while maintaining proper protection.
