Ground Fault
Name
Output side earth (ground) fault overcurrent
Description
This function stops the inverter output if an earth (ground) fault overcurrent flows due to an earth
(ground) fault that occurred on the inverter's output (load) side.
Check point
Check for an earth (ground) fault in the motor and connection cable.
Corrective action
Remedy the earth (ground) fault portion.

E. LF
FR-PU07
Name
Output phase loss
Description
This function stops the inverter output if one of the three phases (U, V, W) on the inverter's output side
(load side) is lost.
Check point
· Check the wiring (Check that the motor is normal.)
· Check that the capacity of the motor used is not smaller than that of the inverter.
· Check if a start command is given to the inverter while the motor is coasting.
Corrective action
· Wire the cables properly.
· Choose inverter and motor capacities that match.
· Input a start command after the motor stops. Alternatively, use automatic restart after instantaneous
power failure/flying start function. (Refer to page

OH Fault
Name
External thermal relay operation
Description
If the external thermal relay provided for motor overheat protection, or the internally mounted
temperature relay in the motor, etc. switches ON (contacts open), the inverter output is stopped.
This function is available when "7" (OH signal) is set to any of Pr. 178 to Pr. 189 (input terminal function
selection).
When the initial value (without OH signal assigned) is set, this protective function is not available.
Check point
· Check for motor overheating.
· Check that the value of 7 (OH signal) is set correctly in any of Pr. 178 to Pr. 189 (input terminal function
selection).
Corrective action
· Reduce the load and operating duty.
· Even if the relay contacts are reset automatically, the inverter will not restart unless it is reset.

FR-PU04 Fault 14
FR-PU07 PTC activated
Name
PTC thermistor operation
Description
Trips when the motor overheat status is detected for 10s or more by the external PTC thermistor input
connected to the terminal AU.
This fault is available when "63" is set in Pr. 184 AU terminal function selection and AU/PTC switchover
switch is set in PTC side. When the initial value (Pr. 184 = "4") is set, this protective function is not
available.
Check point
· Check the connection between the PTC thermistor switch and thermal relay protector.
· Check the motor for operation under overload.
· Is valid setting ( = 63) selected in Pr. 184 AU terminal function selection ? (Refer to page 121, 133.)
Corrective action Reduce the load weight.

Option Fault
Name
Option fault
Description
· Appears when the AC power supply is connected to the terminal R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 accidentally when
a high power factor converter is connected.
· Appears when the switch for the manufacturer setting of the plug-in option is changed.
· Appears when a communication option is connected while Pr. 296 Password lock level = "0 or 100."
Check point
· Check that the AC power supply is not connected to the terminal R/L1, S/L2, T/L3 when a high
power factor converter (FR-HC, MT-HC) or power regeneration common converter (FR-CV) is
connected.
· Check if password lock is activated by setting Pr. 296 = "0, 100"
Corrective action
· Check the parameter (Pr. 30) setting and wiring.
· The inverter may be damaged if the AC power supply is connected to the terminal R/L1, S/L2, T/L3
when a high power factor converter is connected. Please contact your sales representative.
· Return the switch for the manufacturer setting of the plug-in option to the initial status. (Refer to page
203.)
· To apply the password lock when installing a communication option, set Pr.296 ≠ "0,100". (Refer to
page 203.).
· If the problem still persists after taking the above measure, please contact your sales representative.
