Error message levels and trip reactions

Two error message levels are used in the drive:
Alarm or warning An alarm does not shut down the drive. However, a persisting alarm
condition can often lead to a fault if the condition causing the alarm is not
corrected. An alarm cannot be reset manually (Exception: Fan or pump
alarm, if P41.04 FanAlarmReset or P41.10 PumpAlarmReset is set). The
alarm message will be deleted from the display as soon as the alarm
condition has been corrected.
Fault A fault always shuts down the drive. The type of shutdown depends on
the origin of the fault.
Depending on the type of fault, the MCB is opened by the drive or stays
closed.
In general, a fault condition must be corrected and the fault be manually
reset before the drive can be started again.
Trip reactions
The following reactions to a trip are possible:
· Soft Stop
This is the normal stopping procedure:
· The rotation frequency of the drive will be reduced
according to the deceleration time below the self
excitation speed. If possible, braking energy will be
provided to speed up this procedure. As soon as
speed is below self-excitation speed, drive will trip
with FC2 (with de-magnetizing) reaction.
· The flux will be reduced with a ramp in order to
avoid overcurrents.
· Then the zero voltage vector will be switched to
short-circuit the machine. After a programmable
period (5xTr or 1xTm) the inverter will be switched
off.
· Trip with de-magnetization
Trip with de-magnetizing will be used for slower protective actions
and includes the following actions:
· The flux will be reduced with a ramp in order to
avoid overcurrents.
· Then the zero voltage vector will be switched to
short-circuit the machine. After a programmable
period (5xTr or 1xTm) the inverter will be switched
off.
· Depending on the failure, the MCB will stay closed
(FC2 with demagnetizing) or be opened (FC1
with demagnetizing).
MSOI5150 ACS1000 5/117

ABB
· Trip without de-magnetization
Trip without demagnetizing will be used for fast protective actions
and includes the following actions:
· All inverter IGCTs will be switched off immediately.
· In case of a GUSP failure the protection IGCTs will
be opened immediately. In case of another fault the
protection IGCTs will stay closed until the DC link
voltage reaches the undervoltage alarm level.
· Depending on the failure, the MCB will stay closed
(FC2) or be opened (FC2).
· Trip with zero vector
Trip with zero vector (FC1D or FC1T) is an enhanced version of trip
without de-magnetizing and normally only is initiated if a serious
damage to the inverter has occurred:
· The zero voltage vector will be switched
immediately to short-circuit the machine.
· In case of short-circuit faults the protection IGCTs
will be opened immediately. In case of another fault
the protection IGCTs will stay closed until the DC
link voltage reaches the undervoltage alarm level.
· The MCB will be opened.

Panel Text Buchholz
Description Transformer: external Buchholz supervision.
Connections: DI05-IOEC3 (IOEC3 is activated by setting P75.01 to YES), terminals X11.9,
X11.10.
The status of the digital inputs can be checked with P80.09.
Activation of the protection is done with P36.05 (TrafoBuchholzProt).

Causes Buchholz relay trip (transformer protection).
The gas generated during a fault in an oil-cooled transformer is collected in the gas relay, which
is located in a tube between the oil conservator and the main tank. The gas displaces the oil in
the relay and a minor gas generation causes the closing of the alarm contact. If a substantial
amount of gas is generated or the oil level drops, first the alarm contact closes, followed by the
tripping contact. Unusual oil flow from the transformer into the oil conservator causes the
immediate closing of the tripping contact. If the trip is active, the transformer is immediately
disconnected from the grid (MCB opens).
Rectification Check the transformer.
Check wiring and parameter settings.
See transformer documentation for further instructions on fault finding.

Description Upper and lower dc link voltage is unbalanced while charging or in ReadyRun state. The
absolute value of NP voltage is compared to trip threshold in parameter 28.07 NpVoltDevLimit.

VOLTAGE TRIP. After a modulation stop, the NP Voltage trip level is software internally set to
186.06 for x seconds, whereby x is defined by parameter 28.16 NpVoltDevIncTime.
Causes - Charging unit faulty
- Power stage faulty (e.g. outer IGCT shorten)

- Resistor fault (e.g. discharging (R230x))
- Wrong parameter settings

The gas generated during a fault in an oil-cooled transformer is collected in the gas relay, which
is located in a tube between the oil conservator and the main tank. The gas displaces the oil in
the relay and a minor gas generation causes the closing of the alarm contact. If a substantial
amount of gas is generated or the oil level drops, first the alarm contact closes, followed by the
tripping contact. Unusual oil flow from the transformer into the oil conservator causes the
immediate closing of the tripping contact. If the trip is active, the transformer is immediately
disconnected from the grid (MCB opens).
