Diagnostics and Protective Features
Do not attempt to carry out internal repairs. Return a faulty drive to the supplier
for repair.
WARNING
The following protective features are incorporated within the Commander SE drive.
They are placed in order of Trip number which is the figure that is read back through the
serial comms.

Issue Number 9
Condition
Low AC supply voltage
Low DC link voltage when supplied by external
DC power supply
Excessive inertia in the machine during
deceleration
Deceleration rate set too fast for inertia of
machine
Insufficient ramp times
Phase to phase or phase to earth short-circuit at
the drive output
Drive requires autotuning to motor
Motor or motor connections changed, re-
autotune drive to motor (see parameter 38)
Excessive current in braking resistor
Braking resistor value too small
(Does not apply to Size 1 units)
External trip terminal opened (when
programmed)
Excessive motor speed (typically caused by the
mechanical load driving the motor)
Motor loaded or no motor connected
Excessive braking resistor energy
(Does not apply to Size 1 units)
Too much mechanical load
High impedance phase to phase or phase to
earth short circuit at drive output
Drive requires autotuning to motor
Motor or motor connections changed, re-
autotune drive to motor (see parameter 38)
Overheat thermal model
Temperature exceeds 95°C (203°F)
Excessive motor temperature
Excessive load or short circuit on +24V output
Input current less than 3mA when 4-20 or 20-4
modes used
Failure of serial communications between drive
and master
