UnderVoltage
Allen-Bradley · PowerFlex 4M Adjustable Frequency
¿Qué significa F4 ?
The drive has detected that the DC bus voltage has dropped below its predefined minimum operating threshold. This condition typically occurs due to low incoming AC line voltage, a momentary power interruption, or excessive voltage sag from the utility supply. Sustained undervoltage can prevent the drive from operating correctly, cause nuisance trips, or indicate a problem with the main power supply, potentially halting equipment operation.
Causas comunes
- Incoming AC line voltage consistently below the drive's minimum operating threshold (e.g., 340V for a 400V class drive).
- Momentary power interruption (brownout) or significant voltage dip on the utility supply.
- Overloaded input transformer or upstream circuit causing an excessive voltage drop under load.
- Loose or corroded electrical connections at the drive's main power terminals (L1, L2, L3) increasing resistance.
- Incorrectly set undervoltage trip level parameter (e.g., P0-03) too high for the nominal supply voltage.
Pasos de reparación & Lista de verificación

- 1
Measure incoming AC line voltage at terminals L1, L2, L3 for phase-to-phase values under no-load and full-load conditions.
- 2
Verify that the supply voltage consistently falls within the drive's specified input voltage range (e.g., 380-480VAC).
- 3
Check all fuses and circuit breakers in the power path for proper continuity and correct rating.
- 4
Inspect and retorque all main power connections at the drive (L1, L2, L3) and upstream power sources.
- 5
Increase the undervoltage trip delay time (e.g., Parameter P1-30) if momentary sags are expected and tolerable for the application.
