DC UNDERVOLT
ABB · ACS560 Standard Control Program Firmware
What does 3220 mean?
The intermediate circuit DC voltage is insufficient, typically due to a missing supply voltage phase, a blown input fuse, or an internal rectifier bridge fault. This condition prevents the drive from powering the motor correctly, leading to a shutdown or inability to start.
Common Causes
- Loss of one or more phases (L1, L2, L3) of the incoming AC supply voltage to the drive.
- Blown input fuses (e.g., F1, F2, F3) or tripped input circuit breaker (e.g., Q1) on the supply side of the drive.
- Insufficient incoming AC supply voltage (e.g., below 340V for 400V drives) due to sag or overloaded supply transformer.
- Failure of one or more diodes in the drive's internal rectifier bridge.
- Loose or corroded power connections at the drive's input terminals or supply contactor.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
1. Measure the incoming AC line voltages (L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L1) at the drive's input terminals and verify all phases are present and at nominal voltage.
- 2
2. De-energize and lock out power, then measure continuity of all input fuses or verify state of input circuit breaker.
- 3
3. Measure the DC bus voltage at the drive's intermediate circuit terminals (DC+, DC-) and compare it against the expected voltage (e.g., ~560VDC for 400VAC input).
- 4
4. With power isolated, perform a diode check on the drive's internal rectifier bridge using a multimeter in diode mode.
- 5
5. Check all power wiring connections at the drive's input terminals, supply contactor, and main disconnect for tightness and proper seating.
