13

Overvoltage Condition (Load Side Power-up, Adv. Code 2)

Vacon · X4 AC Drive

What does 13 mean?

This fault signifies an overvoltage condition detected on the load (motor) side during power-up. While related to input overvoltage, this advanced code might point to an issue specific to the motor connection or residual voltage on the motor leads. High voltage can damage the motor insulation or the drive's output stage.

Additional Steps

Steps 1–2 are listed in Priority Fix.

  1. 3

    If consistently high voltage is observed, consider adding an input line reactor or isolation transformer.

  2. 4

    Check the motor cabling for any capacitive coupling issues, especially with long motor lead lengths, that could cause voltage spikes on power-up.
