AC Drive Board Overtemperature Alarm
Vacon · 100 FLOW Application Guide
¿Qué significa 133 ?
The temperature on the AC drive's power board has reached an elevated level, triggering an alarm before reaching a critical fault condition. This indicates that the board's temperature is approaching its fault limit, likely due to insufficient cooling or high ambient temperatures. Although not yet a fault, continuous operation under these conditions can lead to component degradation and eventual fault tripping.
Causas comunes
- Reduced effectiveness of power board cooling fans due to accumulated dust or slowed rotation, but not full failure.
- Slightly elevated internal enclosure temperature, possibly due to a minor increase in ambient temperature or adjacent heat sources.
- Sustained operation at high output current or close to the drive's nominal capacity, causing increased heat generation.
- Degradation of thermal grease or pads on specific power components (e.g., IGBTs) on the board.
- Beginning of a component failure (e.g., capacitor, resistor) on the power board, causing localized heating.

- 1
1. Monitor the AC drive's power board temperature (e.g., P8-04) for trends and sudden increases.
- 2
2. Clean any dust from internal components and air paths of the drive, especially near the power board area.
- 3
3. Verify that all internal cooling fans are operational and rotate freely; listen for any unusual noises.
- 4
4. Ensure the ambient temperature inside the drive's enclosure is within the recommended operating range.
- 5
5. Reduce the motor load or operating frequency temporarily to observe if the board temperature decreases.
