Monitoring Trip Events, History, & Conditions
Fault Detection and Clearing
The microprocessor in the inverter detects a variety 
of fault conditions and captures the event, record-
ing it in a history table. The inverter output turns 
OFF, or “trips” similar to the way a circuit breaker 
trips due to an over-current condition. Most faults 
occur when the motor is running (refer to the 
diagram to the right). However, the inverter could 
have an internal fault and trip in Stop Mode. In 
either case, you can clear the fault by pressing the Stop/Reset key. Additionally, you can 
clear the inverter’s cumulative trip history by performing the procedure 
 (setting B_84=00 will clear the trip history but 
leave inverter settings intact).
Error Codes
An error code will appear on the display automatically when a fault causes the inverter 
to trip. The following table lists the cause associated with the error.

Error 
Code
Name
Cause(s)
E 0 1
Over current event while 
at constant speed
The inverter output was short-circuited, or the motor 
shaft is locked or has a heavy load. These conditions 
cause excessive current for the inverter, so the 
inverter output is turned OFF.
The dual-voltage motor is wired incorrectly.
E 0 2
Over current event during 
deceleration
E 0 3
Over current event during 
acceleration
E 0 4
Over current event during 
other conditions
E 0 5
Overload protection
When a motor overload is detected by the electronic 
thermal function, the inverter trips and turns OFF its 
output.
E 0 7
Over voltage protection
When the DC bus voltage exceeds a threshold, due to 
regenerative energy from the motor.
E 0 8
EEPROM error
When the built-in EEPROM memory has problems 
due to noise or excessive temperature, the inverter 
trips and turns OFF its output to the motor.
E 0 9
Under-voltage error
A decrease of internal DC bus voltage below a thresh-
old results in a control circuit fault. This condition can 
also generate excessive motor heat or cause low 
torque. The inverter trips and turns OFF its output.
E 1 1
E 2 2
CPU error
A malfunction in the built-in CPU has occurred, so 
the inverter trips and turns OFF its output to the 
motor.
