Output side ground fault overcurrent protection

¿Qué significa Ground Fault ?

This function stops the inverter output if a ground fault overcurrent (alarm output E.GF) is detected on the inverter's output (load) side, affecting the motor or its connection cable. This protection can be enabled or disabled at inverter startup using Pr. 249. If enabled (Pr. 249=1), there will be an approximate 20ms output delay at every start.

• Ground fault in the motor windings or motor insulation breakdown.
• Ground fault in the motor connection cable due to damaged insulation, moisture ingress, or improper wiring.
• Incorrect setting of Pr. 249 'ground fault detection at start', leading to detection at startup when not desired.
• Motor capacity less than 0.1kW, potentially affecting ground fault detection reliability.

1. 1

   Measure insulation resistance between motor phases (U, V, W) and ground using a megger to identify the exact location of the ground fault.

2. 2

   Inspect the motor connection cable for any signs of insulation damage, chafing, or improper routing.

3. 3

   Verify the setting of Pr. 249 (ground fault detection at start); set to '0' if startup detection is not required or causing nuisance trips.
