POSSIBLE FIXES: Turn the overvoltage controller is on. Check supply voltage for constant or transient high voltage. Check the operation of brake chopper and resistor. Increase deceleration time. Use the “coast to stop” function whenever possible. Fit frequency converter with brake chopper and brake resistor. What causes overvoltage on aRead More →
