Fault during power-up
Siemens · SINAMICS G120
What does F30664 mean?
A fault was detected during the inverter's power-up sequence, preventing it from starting correctly. This could be a hardware issue or a configuration problem encountered during initialization, which needs to be resolved for the drive to become operational.
Common Causes
- Internal power supply failure within the inverter's control section or power module.
- Corrupted firmware or parameter block preventing proper boot-up during initialization (e.g., P0010=30 setup).
- Hardware component failure (e.g., control board, I/O module) detected during the internal self-test sequence.
- Input power supply (L1, L2, L3) phase loss or severe voltage imbalance detected immediately at power-on.
- Incorrect wiring of critical control signals (e.g., enable inputs) causing immediate pre-operation fault detection.
Repair Steps & Checklist
Click steps to track your progress.
- 1
Measure input line voltages (L1-L2, L2-L3, L3-L1) at the inverter's main power terminals (e.g., U, V, W) to confirm nominal supply (e.g., 400VAC).
- 2
Disconnect all external control wiring (e.g., X1 terminals) and communication cables (e.g., Profinet) from the inverter, then re-power to isolate external influences.
- 3
Perform a parameter reset to factory defaults (set P0010=30, then P0970=1) via the Basic Operator Panel (BOP) or engineering software.
- 4
Observe diagnostic LEDs (e.g., SF, RDY, LINK) on the inverter control unit for specific power-up sequence indications.
- 5
If fault persists, test with a known good control unit or power module if interchangeable, or prepare for complete inverter unit replacement.
