07

DC Link Overvoltage

SEW Eurodrive · MOVIDRIVE compact System (MCF/MCV/MCS4_A)

What does 07 mean?

Immediate switch-off triggered when the DC link voltage exceeds its maximum permissible limit. This is often caused by excessive regenerative energy from the motor during deceleration or potentially a ground fault, risking damage to inverter components.

Common Causes

  • DC link voltage within the inverter is too high (e.g., above P4-OV).
  • Excessive regenerative energy from the motor causing voltage rise.
  • Malfunction in the inverter's DC bus control or braking system.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Extend the deceleration ramps (e.g., in parameters P501 or P503) to reduce regenerative energy.

  2. 2

    Check the supply cable connections to the braking resistor.

  3. 3

    Verify the technical data (e.g., resistance value) of the braking resistor matches specifications.

  4. 4

    Check for a ground fault in the system.
