E56

Power Transistor Thermistor Faulty or Disconnected

Mitsubishi Electric · FR-D700 Inverter

What does E56 mean?

The power transistor thermistor is faulty or disconnected (specific to FDCVA151-251 models), impacting temperature monitoring of the power transistors. This can lead to inverter damage from overheating.

Common Causes

  • Disconnection of the power transistor thermistor.
  • Open circuit fault in the power transistor thermistor sensor.
  • Faulty power transistor thermistor indicating an incorrect temperature.

Repair Steps & Checklist
