• Amfani da multimeter don duba idan rectifier bridge an kusa; badalci rectifier modules daban-daban.
• Bincika filter capacitors don samun bulging ko leakage; badalci capacitors daban-daban.
2. Overcurrent (OC Fault)
• Phenomenon: Alaram overcurrent na yi damar a wajen fadada.
• Possible Causes:
• Motor short circuit, poor insulation, ko mafi muhimmanci a kan kasa.
• Circuit mai koyar da damar (misali, Hall sensor an kusa).
• Drive circuit abnormality (IGBT module an kusa).
• Repair Steps:
• Gamda motor da ka duba VFD a wajen fadada bai.
• Duba resistance na insulation na motor winding (amfani da megohmmeter).
• Duba IGBT module don kusan kasa (duba pin-to-pin resistance amfani da diode test function).
• Bincika drive circuit components (opto-isolators, resistors, capacitors) don kusa.
3. Overvoltage (OV Fault)
• Phenomenon: Alaram overvoltage a wajen kawo.
• Possible Causes:
• Braking resistor ko braking unit an kusa.
• Deceleration time setting mafi yawa, ba a iya kawo regenerative energy ba.
• Repair Steps:
• Duba idan value na braking resistance ta zama (infinity resistance idan an kusa).
• Fara deceleration time (via parameter adjustment).
• Duba idan braking unit ya fara don kawo.
4. Overheating (OH Fault)
• Phenomenon: Alaram overheating ba a iya fadada.
• Possible Causes:
• Cooling fan jammed ko an kusa.
• Mafi dust a kan heat sink, ba a iya kawo sanya ba.
• Temperature sensor an kusa.
• Repair Steps:
• Soja heat sink da air vents.
• Duba fan voltage; badalci fan idan an bukata.
• Duba resistance na temperature sensor don abin da ba da shi ba.
5. Communication Fault
• Phenomenon: Ba a iya koyar da PLC ko host computer ba.
• Possible Causes:
• Contact poor a kan connections na communication port.
• Settings na communication protocol ko baud rate da suka mutu.
• Isolation chip (e.g., RS485 chip) an kusa.
• Repair Steps:
• Duba terminal connections don kasa ko oxidation.
• Tabbatar da settings (e.g., Modbus address, baud rate).
• Badalci communication chip an kusa.
6. Parameter Setting Error
• Phenomenon: Operation na motor abnormal (e.g., reverse rotation, incorrect speed).
• Repair Steps:
• Restore factory settings da kuma re-enter motor parameters (power, rated current, pole count, etc.).
• Duba idan starting method (e.g., V/F control, vector control) ta zama daidai.
7. Hardware Damage
• Common Vulnerable Components:
• Capacitors: Aged filter capacitors causing reduced capacitance or leakage.
• IGBT Modules: Shorted due to overcurrent or overheating.
• Drive Circuit: Damaged opto-isolators or gate resistors.
• Repair Methods:
• Replace components with identical specifications; pay attention to soldering temperature and time.
• Apply new thermal paste after module replacement to ensure proper heat dissipation.

III. Post-Repair Testing

1. No-Load Test:
• Power on without motor connection; observe display and parameters for normalcy.
2. Load Test:
• Connect motor; operate at low speed, gradually increase load; monitor output current and temperature.
3. Extended Run Test:
• Operate continuously for 1-2 hours to confirm no abnormal alarms occur.

IV. Preventive Maintenance

1. Periodically clean internal dust and inspect cooling fans.
2. Tighten power and motor terminal connections to prevent poor contact.
3. Test capacitor capacitance and insulation resistance every six months.
4. Update VFD firmware (if newer versions are available).

V. Precautions

• Safety First: Working on live equipment is absolutely prohibited; capacitor discharge must be thorough.
• Component Replacement: IGBT modules must match the required voltage, current rating, and package type.
• Professional Support: For complex faults (e.g., chip-level repair), contact the manufacturer or a specialized service provider.

Through systematic troubleshooting and targeted repairs, most VFD faults can be effectively resolved. If problems persist, further analysis using circuit diagrams to trace signal flow and locate hidden faults is necessary.
