Charging Fault

Vacon · NX Liquid-Cooled Drive

What does 4 mean?

The pre-set charging time for the DC-link, defined by parameter P.2.1.3 (MaxChargeTime, default 5 seconds), has been exceeded. Specifically, the DC voltage failed to rise above 40VDC within 1 second during the initial charging sequence.

Common Causes

  • DC bus voltage not reaching nominal levels during charging.
  • Faulty charging contactor or relay.
  • Internal failure in the power supply unit.
  • Issue with rectifier bridge or input power.

Repair Steps & Checklist

  1. 1

    Inspect the external charging circuit components, including the charging resistor, for proper dimensioning and integrity.

  2. 2

    Verify the value of parameter P.2.1.3 (MaxChargeTime) to ensure it is adequately set for the system.
