31
IGBT temperature (hardware)
Vacon · NX Liquid-Cooled Drive
What does 31 mean?
The IGBT Inverter Bridge overtemperature protection circuit has detected an excessively high short-term overload current, leading to a hardware-level temperature fault.
Common Causes
- IGBT temperature sensor failure (hardware fault).
- Overheating detected on the IGBT module.
- IGBT temperature exceeding critical threshold (P1-20).
- Poor heatsink contact or insufficient cooling.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Evaluate the actual motor loading and compare it against the drive's continuous and overload current ratings.
- 2
Verify the motor size and nominal current rating are appropriate for the drive's specified output capacity.
