F005

OverVoltage

Allen-Bradley · PowerFlex 520-series Adjustable Frequency AC Drive

What does F005 mean?

The DC bus voltage has exceeded its maximum safe limit. Common causes include excessively high incoming AC line voltage, transient voltage spikes, or regenerative energy from the motor during rapid deceleration. Persistent overvoltage can damage the drive's internal power components.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

  1. 3

    If regenerative braking is inherent to the application, consider installing a dynamic braking resistor and chopper option to dissipate excess energy.
