DC overvoltage

Danfoss · VLT HVAC Drive High Power

What does ALARM 7 mean?

The DC-link voltage has exceeded its limit, causing the frequency converter to trip after a certain time. This often occurs due to regenerative braking or excessive mains voltage, which can damage the inverter section if not mitigated.
