The Drive Overheat Fault (OHF) indicates that the heat sink temperature has crossed the temperature threshold. This is the information from the temperature sensor located on the heat sink, near the transistor module. When the Thermal Heat Dissipation (THD) is greater than 118% it trips in OHF. 118% is approximately 100 Deg Centigrade temperature on the heat sink. The main causes for the occurrence of this fault are: 1. Excessive ambient temperature. (Provide proper air cooling of the control roo...

Issue: The motor is running backwards with a forward run command on the drive. Product line: Altivar ATV61 and ATV71 Environment: All models, all serial numbers Cause: The phase rotation is inverted coming out of the drive going to the motor. Resolution: Option 1: To correct the motor rotation swap two motor leads on the drive output terminals. Option 2: Go in the simple start menu 1.1 find output phase rotation change it from ABC to ACB. Refer to the ATV61 and ATV71 programm...
