MCD3000 Series
MG.15.A4.22 - VLT is a registered Danfoss trademark 43
Fault Procedure
Code Cause & Action
3
Motor thermistor trip.
Thermistors in the motor have indicated
an overtemperature state.
• Identify and correct the cause of the
motor overheating.
• Wait for the motor to cool
sufficiently to allow a restart.
• Reset the MCD3000.
• Restart the motor.
If no motor thermistors are connected;
• Ensure that there is a closed circuit
across the MCD3000 motor
thermistor input terminals.
4
Phase imbalance trip.
An imbalance in phase currents has
exceeded the limits programmed in Par.
7 Phase Imbalance Sensitivity.
• Check the supply voltage.
• Verify the motor circuit.
• Reset the MCD3000.
• Restart the motor.
• Check phase currents.
5
Supply frequency trip.
The supply frequency has varied outside
the allowed limits. Refer to Specification
section.
• Identify and correct the cause of the
frequency variations. (Note that the
loss of the three phase supply is a
0Hz condition and may be the
cause of a Supply frequency trip).
• Reset the MCD3000.
• Restart the motor.
6
Phase rotation trip.
Phase rotation protection has been set
and a prohibited phase rotation has
been detected. Refer Par. 11 Phase
Rotation Protection.
• Correct the phase rotation.
• Reset the MCD3000.
• Restart the motor.
7
Instantaneous overload trip.
An instantaneous overload exceeding
the limit programmed in Par. 9
Instantaneous Overload Trip Point has
been detected.
• Identify and correct the cause of the
instantaneous overload.
• Reset the MCD3000.
• Restart the motor.
Code Cause & Action
8
Power circuit fault.
• Ensure voltage is present on the
MCD3000 input terminals (L1, L2 &
L3).
• Ensure the motor is correctly
connected to the MCD3000 output
terminals (T1, T2 & T3).
• Test the MCD3000 power modules
(SCRs) using the SCR Test
described later in this section of the
manual under the Test and
Measurement Procedures heading.
9
Undercurrent trip.
Motor run current has fallen below the
limit programmed in Par. 8 Undercurrent
Trip Point.
• Identify and correct the cause of the
undercurrent situation.
• Reset the MCD3000.
• Restart the motor.
c
RS485 communications fault
The RS485 link with the MCD3000 has
been inactive for a time greater than
programmed in Par. 24 Serial
Communication - RS485 Time Out.
• Identify and correct the cause of the
RS485 failure.
• Reset the MCD3000.
e
EEPROM Read/Write failure.
The MCD3000 has been unable to
Read/Write to the internal EEPROM.
• Contact your nearest Danfoss
office.
FLC range error
The MCD3000 has detected that the
motor is connected in the 3 Wire
configuration and that Par 1. Motor FLC
or Par. 25 Motor FLC has been set in
excess of the MCD3000’s maximum
capability for this connection format.
• Reduce the motor FLC setting and
then reset the MCD3000. Note that
the MCD3000 cannot be reset until
the FLC setting has been corrected.
