Toshiba VF-AS1 fault codes
Understanding Troubles with Your Toshiba VFD:
Motor Runs in the Wrong Direction:
Cause: The phases of the output terminals U, V, and W might be inverted.
Solution: Swap the connections of any two of the output terminals to correct the motor's direction.
Motor Speed Doesn't Change Normally:
Cause: The load might be too heavy, or the soft stall function could be activated.
Solution: Reduce the load or switch off the soft stall function to allow normal speed changes.
Motor Doesn't Accelerate or Decelerate Smoothly:
Cause: The acceleration or deceleration time might be set too short.
Solution: Increase the acceleration or deceleration time for smoother transitions.
Motor Runs at Incorrect Speed:
Cause: This could be due to an improper voltage rating, incorrect frequency settings, or issues with the reduction gear ratio.
Solution: Use a motor with the correct voltage rating, check the frequency settings, and adjust the gear ratio as needed.
Motor Speed Varies During Operation:
Cause: The load might be too heavy or too light, or the inverter/motor rating might not be sufficient.
Solution: Adjust the load and ensure that the inverter and motor have appropriate ratings for the application.
Control Panel Issues:
Cause: Some keys on the operation panel might not work, or you might be unable to change parameter settings.
Solution: Check the panel operation prohibition parameter and ensure that key operation is allowed.
Overcurrent During Acceleration (OC1 - OCP1P):
Cause: This can happen if the acceleration time is too short or the V/f setting is improper.
Solution: Increase the acceleration time and check the V/f parameter settings.
Overcurrent During Deceleration (OC2-OC2P):
Cause: The deceleration time might be too short.
Solution: Increase the deceleration time to reduce the risk of overcurrent.
Overcurrent During Fixed Speed (OC3-OC3P):
Cause: Sudden load fluctuations or abnormal load conditions can cause this.
Solution: Reduce load fluctuations and check the load for any abnormalities.
Phase Short Circuits (OCA1, OCA2, OCA3):
Cause: There could be a defect in the main circuit elements of the U, V, or W phase.
Solution: Contact your Toshiba distributor for assistance.
Overheating (OH):
Cause: The cooling fan might not be working, the ambient temperature could be too high, or there could be blockages in the vent.
Solution: Ensure the cooling fan is operational, maintain an appropriate ambient temperature, and clear any vent blockages.
Inverter Overload (OL1):
Cause: Rapid acceleration or a too large DC braking amount can overload the inverter.
Solution: Increase the acceleration time and reduce the DC braking amount.
Motor Overload (OL2):
Cause: The V/f parameter might be set improperly, or the motor could be locked up.
Solution: Check and adjust the V/f parameter settings and ensure the motor is not locked.
Overvoltage During Acceleration (OP1):
Cause: Abnormal fluctuations in input voltage can cause overvoltage.
Solution: Use an input reactor and check the settings for auto-restart and regenerative power ride-through control.
Emergency Stop (E):
Cause: The inverter is stopped by a panel operation or an external control device.
Solution: Reset the inverter to resume operation.
EEPROM Errors (EEP1, EEP2, EEP3):
Cause: These errors occur due to data writing errors or corrupted internal data.
Solution: Turn off the inverter and then turn it back on. If the error persists, contact your Toshiba distributor.
Ground Fault (EF1, EF2):
Cause: A current has leaked from an output cable or the motor to the ground.
Solution: Check the cable and the motor for ground faults and repair as necessary.
